RE: /FREE RPG compiler errors

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have not run into any bugs myself.
I would tend to think those that think something is
buggy are the ones most afraid of change.

As for whole-heartedly embraced - I am the only
one in the shop using it - the rest of the crew
thinks it looks cool, but have not tried it yet.

I took the hill by little steps,
first some quick code to clean up files, or
to set fields for when projects went live that
where too complicated to run a sql statement for.

>From there I have been intermixing /free with code
as I see the need (some calcs especially are MUCH
easier to read, code and understand in /free...for me,
but then I have a background in calculus, physics, and
a knack for pushing the envelope of my own abilities.
It keeps this mind fresh and growing.

Good luck :)

Mark

Hi all

I have a situation at work where I'm trying to determine if there is a
severe
impact going to free-format RPG.  There are a couple of issues:

1.  I have people who are very "anti" that continue to state that
"free-format
RPG" is buggy.  I cannot get any specifics out of these folks, but it does
make
me wonder a bit-- has anyone on this list encountered any compiler bugs
using
free-format RPG?

2.  Has any shop whole-heartedly embraced using RPG Free?  If so, how large
was
the hill you had to climb?  Also, how did the staff take the news that they
were going to use this "new" stuff.

Thanks!

-Doc
