Nah, VBS!  It's about time that CMS moved into the 1970's with OS/VS1, 
SVS, and MVS!  ;-)

But seriously, why not?  What would be the harm?  At least it's worth 
considering.  Think of the disk savings!  ... Oh, that's right; IBM sells 
disk, too!

Yeah, I was looking at that, too.  If all you want are source comments 
rather than something queryable, it can be easily since DIRECTXA only 
scans cols 1-71 anyway.  No need for special characters.

But the next thing you know you'll be wanting a V-format file!  :-)
