Well, you're a braver man than I am! Never could get my disks RALR'd
right (see what I mean, I don't think I even remember how to spell
that). But can you imagine trying to sell RPT to the Java-generation?
Good thing Oracle came up with web-enabled Reports.
Never used that brand of COBOL ... but practically every other one on
the planet. :) That's the trouble with living a long time ... the list
of "been there, done that" gets way too long.
