What can start going wrong that doesn't get detected? Someone's not paying attention. These issues have been around for well over 40 years, and if they haven't been addressed then shame on whoever's responsible. It simply isn't acceptable to say that "something got messed up". This isn't 1975. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
