Does he mean Hot Rolled Picked and Oiled?

This may seem like a Old man's yarn, but in the late 70's I developed a system for a steel processor headquartered in Chicago. the system was developed and run on a 64K 20MB system which supported multiple users and was online via a 2400 baud to remote sites in Michigan. Oh did I forget to mention, the system was written in assembler!

I can see how to get rid of about half the reports but no go. Maybe on the next version she will change her mind on those.
