RE: Visual Age for RPG's future

["Phil" <sublime78ska@xxxxxxxxx>]

Shannon,

Well, that's a problem!  The help|tutorial link takes me here:

http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ad/varpg/download/#interactive

and I can't find anything about a tutorial.  There are samples, macros, a
link to service packs for V3R2M2, etc.

This is how I found the "to be deleted soon" page - from the "Help|VARPG on
the Web|Tips and Techniques" menu item.  It takes you right there!

So I have V5R1M0 - the new version - and the help menu takes me to links
about V3R2M2 and pages that say "to be deleted soon".  Ha!

I think I'll wait to see what you find out in a couple days before spending
anymore time on this!

Thanks,

Phil
