Aaron; A fine idea! let's get off the conflict with 'Role Playing Games' acron.. acrony.. how the h*ll do you spell it? Albert; I think Phoenix and with 'PHX' as in CRTPHXPRG sounds way cool. Mike; Insanely creative is good. ps. Aaron, bring your guitar and a cord and some music of songs you know. John B. --__--__-- Message: 7 From: "Bartell, Aaron L.

Not that we need one more name change within IBM, but in reality most of the name changes that have happened were because the initial name didn't adequately describe what the product was or the product was named prematurely. Maybe the acronymn just needs to be changed to include more buzz word's -- Reliable, Progressive, Guaranteed. I don't know when RPG first came about, but I am guessing that todays RPG is a far cry from where it started. Maybe when they allow us to create our own data types they can name it Rava (instead of Java;-). Just thinking out loud, Aaron Bartell --__--__-- Message: 10 From: "Wills, Mike N.

Considering the history of RPG I think a good name would be Phoenix. On the AS/400 it could be abbreviated PHX, as in CRTPHXPGM. Albert York
