Well, when I was hired at Touchtone Corporation (when it was still
QuestComp, Inc.), I was already fluent in BASIC (several dialects and
derivatives), FORTRAN, and PL/I, and somewhat fluent in Pascal, COBOL,
C, Lisp, Modula-2, and both PDP-11 and 8086 assemblers. And I'd *seen* a
mainframe RPG source listing (a family friend's junior college project).
It didn't take me very long to teach myself MI, but it quickly became
apparent that in order to take over maintenance of QuestView, I'd need
to work on the portions written in RPG, as well. So I taught myself RPG.
Including those portions of The Cycle that are useful for things other
than running reports.
