RE: RPGII to RPG IV

Never said it made them into RPGIII.  What I was referring to was that you
can compile all the programs as RPGIII and use CL or OCL to run them.

RPGII programs are different.  Aside from differences like zoned/packed
default, RPGII programs have a runtime check to make sure they were
called using //LOAD //RUN.  (I don't think the fact that the compiler
creates MI makes RPGII programs into RPGIII programs any more than it
makes them into COBOL400 programs.)
