Hans, RPG-CGI is hardley my bread and butter.  It's maybe
my salt, or pepper.. I use a lot of salt.  Actually it's
probably more my cumin.  And I don't make tacos that often.

One thing I constantly hear from you is "one line of code,
3 lines of code... "

You keep forgetting that those built in functions you're
using in Perl, Python or Java to convert TIFF to PDF (or
whatever you are doing) contains thousands of lines of
code.

If we didn't have to count the code behind pre-built
functions, then I can covert a TIF to a PDF in one line of
CL code, or 3 lines of RPG code (or less depending on how
fancy you get with QCMDEXC).  

So I guess that would make as powerful as python from your
point of view.
