I believe that your last comment is just facetious. I've used SAS since 1981 -- they were always arrogant. The codebase conversion was to facilitate the migration/movement to other platforms. Before that, it was PL/1, which is why a lot of the code constructs resemble that language. IMO, SAS Institute just doesn't get it. This is probably why WPS is gaining a strong foothold. - Ted MacNEIL eamacn...@yahoo.ca ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
