It sure was a fun product, and it presented data in ways that users had
never seen. I still remember one application that I did that ended up
showing a manger what had happened in her department since she'd taken
it over. :) Her first reaction was that the graph was wrong, the
second reaction was to ask for, and get, a substantial raise.

Yes, sometimes you wonder at the decisions made from above.
The decision to not enhance VARPG was effectively made by its non-
users - not really by IBM. Despite being "free" it was ignored by
the vast majority despite being promoted at COMMON and other User
events for years. Sure there was more IBM could have done with it,
but they constantly updated its compiler support, added Java
generation capability, and more. Still people stayed away in their
thousands.
Pity - it was a fun product - but the market spoke!
