Re: /FREE RPG compiler errors

[E Doc <doc6502@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lads:

Thanks for your input.  

I should have said-- I've been using free-format RPG for a little more than a
year, and I *really* like it.  I find the code to be more readable, and is much
easier for newbies to maintain.  The biggest surprise I encountered is that an
string assignment operator (stringMe = 'ABCDEFG') is left-adjusted by
default... and that was a pleasant surprise, frankly.

I agree with what you've been saying as well.  Programmers in the 400 community
complain about how stubborn and mule-headed C and UNIX guys are... well, I've
found that same attiude in the RPG programming community.  A good number of RPG
programmers embrace change with the same enthusiasim that I'd have embracing a
moving truck.

And yes, there is s bit of logic to the arguement "it's not tried-and-true". 
But, again, I haven't any physical evidence that there's any problems.  There
are differences of opinion, but there aren't any friggin' compiler bugs that I
can find.

Thanks!

-Doc
