I am kind of nostalgic and they are in an 'junk' library anyway that I keep that kind of stuff in. Just can't make myself throw them away.... Regards, Claude -----------SNIP--------------- Here is a funny one for you. We were doing house cleaning and found the 3705 assembler modules in linklib. We were just going to delete them but we thought we should go through change control to CYA. AFter the weekend we get a call from an irate user asking what happened to the assembler. We told him we deleted the obsolete 3705 assembler and he started yelling. I was able to get him to calm down and asked to see his source. After a quick preview we didn't see anything preventing him from using the latest assembler and I gave him the procs needed etc he was still irate but I assured him this would run a lot faster. He still wasn't happy but I suggested he try it. The next day he called up and was ecstatic and said his assemblies were done in 1 minute what used to take 20. He was so happy and I asked him to go through anything else that might be needing to update. He found 5 (IIRC) jobs. Ended up he called my boss and thanks me a lot so I got some brownie points from the user.
