Based arrays and dynamic storage yes, the other two and I have not met, but
I'll look them up...

Obviously not myself...

        I cut my teeth on C in the early eighties writing bad programs for car
lots.  Had never heard of RPG until I got this Job.  Like RPG.  Like RPG
much better since IV.  There are still a few things I do in C, but RPG has
become quite a language.  I don't understand what the 'callbacks'        
referred
to above relate to, but would like to - any pointers? (pun semi-intended)
