In the Java world, there is a term called "deprecated" for older API calls that still work but newer replacement ones are available. Here's one explanation:

The comment would have a standard format which could be searched on in listings. The code generated would not be changed, just an additional comment printed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
