Did you go back to the original design and completely redesign the program and completely rewrite it. And then because one program was changing you went back to the system design adn redesigned and rewrote every program in the system? Every time? I doubt it. So as new features get bolted on IBM products, CA products, Sun, HP, Microsoft, and every other vendor out there - the original design is not redone. New limitations will be found that were not considered part of the new feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
