Frank You are absolutely correct that it could be done in COBOL and PL/I. The problem is that the culture does not lend itself to that. In any case, PCRE is mature and working library with most all (even esoteric) options. So there is a value int it after all:) Since I noticed that not all people have access to C compiler, the new distro has all libraries including binaries in XMIT (PDS or PDSE) format.
I have a personal request, could I get your explicit permission to distribute your code with mine (same license and mentioning your name) o I can show people how it could be done in the simple level Thanks ZA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
