Walt, I am not sure that we can resolve this difference of opinion.
As you know from the character of my posts over the years, I am not anti-IBM; and neither do I want to hold it to impossibly high standards. IBM code has always contained some errors. How not? In the past, however, these errors were subtler. One could often feel real sympathy for the programmer who had made one of them (and imagine having made it oneself). Now, however, I often see macros that just do not assemble correctly; and I have been led, reluctantly but inexorably, to the conclusion that they have not been tested adequately or that they were not retested at all after being altered in a notionally trivial way. I wish things were otherwise.
