Re: "Name that language"

["Bob P. Roche" <BRoche@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Report Program Generator I believe, Should the new name stand for 
something like RPG COBOL and BASIC do, or should we jump to something that 
means nothing like JAVA and apparently PIZZA?

Our RPG stands for "Report Generating Language"  I believe?

The only choice, using that naming style, is AYERN for the new name. 
"All You'll Ever Really Need."  Or,  TATAMP..  "The Answer To A Maiden's 
Prayers"
