Re: Quick question on indicators - more philosophical than anything else

I agree Michael and have started doing away with the *IN, but if I am not
correct, INK was a carryover from the s/36.......

I do not use the *INK? anymore... To me...

Dow KeyPressed <> ExitKey;

says more rather than..

Dow *inkc;

I rarely use the *IN01 through 99 anymore either. Named indicators are
more readable.

Is anyone still using the old indicator style of INKC, INKA, etc.?

Is there any reason why this should even be used today?

I know some are advocating using no indicators at all in a

program....but

is that not one of the strengths of RPG?
