I already copyrighted R, I am sure you can't use R++!

:I think that's an excellent idea.

: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.

:                I was just thinking that maybe RPG (Report Program
:Generator) should be
:                renamed. . .
:
:                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,
