RE: RE: Death of RPG38 and RPG36 -and- more!

Not to get into an argument (about the past no less), but the AS/400 was a
complete break from the S/38.  If it wasn't, the could have left the OBJ.LIB
syntax in place, but instead they went with lib/obj with an obvious eye
towards the IFS that didn't get implemented for many years.

No, the fact that the AS/400 was so radically different and yet still
supported nboth S/36 and S/38 modes was something of an engineering miracle.
Unfortunately, some folks have let that miracle drag on a bit too long, and
with IBM's strategy of trying to get people to newer releases, you had to
see the writing on the wall.
