did anyone ever program in RPG?

[Paul Berger (Canada)]

One of our first FORTRAN assignments in college was to plot the trajectory of a cannon ball fired from a tower until it struck the earth... it is amazing how far that cannon ball could tunnel into the earth before the output page limiter, that was wisely in effect, kicked the program out. I was spared the embarrassment of receiving a large wad of paper the next morning as I had a crude programmable calculator and discover the danger of setting the exit point to be when the altitude = 0.
