Is RPG available on any other platform ?

 >> VARPG has (in the past) lagged green-screen RPG by at least one release;
I don't know how close it is to V5R1 today.

This is currently true (it is at V4R5 with the exception of also having the
Java interoperability feature) - but it has not always been so in the past.
I have often used VARPG to help me develop teaching materials on a new
release before it became generally available.

The next release of WDSc (March ?) is supposedly a full V5R2 release,
although I have not yet had chance to confirm that.  It is certainly the
VARPG team's intent to keep up to date - which is great news.

There are a number of good apps written with the tool including some
commercial ones.  One of the best (a BPCS type package) is sadly only
available in Australia right now but if you check out www.versatile.com.au
and look at the ACE and SPS listings you can see what these guys have done
with the tool.
