Last time I checked wikipedia RPG was still listed and still in use. It was popular in my day for people who wanted to write a quick off the shelf programme for a minor project. After all all you had to do was fill in a few form pages setting out the structure of the input data, the processing you wanted to happen to that data and the structure of the output data.<br>
