Re: remove blanks

Jonathan,

I made the same assumption at first, too.  But there are few schools 
(state side, anyway) that teach RPG and none of the dozen or so that I 
know of teach RPG III.  I have no experience or knowledge of the level 
taught in other countries. 

So it would seem, at least, that it is either a school *way* behind the 
curve or an organization (US or elsewhere) in the same boat.

Heck, I'm still babysitting an RPG II application here.  I would convert 
it, but got too many new things (ILE RPG, of course) going to bother 
since it runs (adequately).
