Can you do something other than complain?
IBM is trying the 'revolution in an evolutionary manner'.
I, for one, would not want to have to re-compile everything
whenever a new version/release comes along!
Ted,
I would like to disagree with you a little.
If we had to recompile then all those programs that got lost (Y2K
ring a bell?) probably wouldn't have. To this day we still have
people trying to translate load to source (usually COBOL but plug in
almost any language).
I agree its a PITA to recompile but there some (good?) reasons to do so.
