Now, Jim, you may kid about RPG, but we've been using it on the
HP3000 for 19 years --- starting on a Series 33 --- after migrating off IBM,
and we've always contended that we could write rings around a COBOL
programmer in the good old Report Program Generator language, as beautifully
enhanced by HP. We never have found a good reason to switch to another
language...
