Perhaps RPG is just evolving... and IBM wants to come up with a slick
new name for the language, so that we can shed the legacy image that IT
has of RPG.

Just heard at my local user group that at Common, "top IBMers" had told
a "vocal proponent of RPG" when asked when we would be getting major
enhancements like direct GUI and WEB ability, that IBM was no longer
enhancing RPG and that all future development is going to other "newer"
languages.

Please, say it aint so!
