Re: Where in the RPG am I? An RFE idea

"converted RPG III"...meaning RPG III run through CVTRPGSRC to become RPG
IV.

I don't do anything with RPG III source, I always run it through CVTRPGSRC.


Heck, even if I'm just looking at the code, I'll run it through CVTRPGSRC
just so RDi plays nicer with it. :)
