Well, the space provided wasn't (quite) adequate for me ;-)!  We did have a
_little_ problem with two programs (out of 500) that were calling one of our
date functions with a numeric parameter of the wrong length (15,5 vs. 8,0).
The fell over with a DDE on the RISC box, while functioning fine for _YEARS_
on CISC.  A nit, but could have been a real problem had the source been
lost...
