At the Spring 1990 Symposium, a session was given which
 compared various 4GLs.  This was done by issuing a problem to be
 solved at the previous Symposium, and various volunteers produced
 programs in their 4GL of choice which implemented the specified
 application.  The session was considered very successful, and is
 being repeated for the Fall 1990 Symposium.

    [.SPRING_1990] contains what I have of the first problem: a
 description and the RALLY solution by John White.

    [.FALL_1990] contains the problem description, the RALLY,
 POWERHOUSE and SMARTSTAR solutions, and a (partial) 3GL solution
 which was done to act as a comparison with the 4GL solutions.
