Re: VARPG (was Design Change Requests)

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have.  Not a lot, but enough to know it works.  Do not use the IBM 
model for roll out though, unless they've changed their method.

An interesting experience for me was a report I used to generate on 
paper with RPG and green screen.  No one ever seriously read it, or 
understood what it said.  I converted the report to VARPG and displayed 
the report as a colorful graph.  The first comment was that the graph 
was "wayyyyy wrong". The second comment was "these numbers are right... 
I don't understand?"  The third comment was "hee hee, Booth, you know 
that graph you did for me? Well, I didn't realize what I was doing for 
the company.  Your graph got me a nice raise.  Thanks"

That event alone convinced me that people need imagery and comparisons.
