RE: Java vs VisualAge RPG

Actually, if you are going to look at VARPG, you need to look at ASNA
Visual RPG, or AVR. It has been doing very well, and when I first
started messing around with it, it blew VARPG away....

VARPG, regardless of its merits, has never gained traction.  So,
regardless of its value it is a solution that will no doubt follow OS/2
onto the list of great solutions that didn't make it.
