RE: Quick survey - how well structured are your RPG apps?

Partly, but I see the real plan is because they really can't charge (as
much) for RPG.  They can for Net.Data, Websphere, etc.  And the Java push is
still alive and kicking... trying to get folks off of RPG.

We'll show em!  They did too good of a job with RPG for us to disband it.
If they want to get rid of it, then at least be "hip" and make the RPG
compiler open source.  :)

Yes, IBM, that was a compliment on a job well done with RPG.  Keep up the
good work.
