The WPS solution is NOT translating the SOURCLIB. Who said we were going to do that? Rather, it's running it with a different interpreter. When WPS first came out, he wouldn't touch it. Now, he says that if you have a problem with MXG using WPS, re-run with SAS (difficult if you don't have a SAS licence). If the problem recurrs, he'll look into it. In other words, it's sort of a passive support stance. Of course, I'm just (mis-)quoting his statements on his web-site. Go to www.mxg.com to get his direct comments; don't depend on mine. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
