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.
