Re: New to ILE

Hi, Scott:

Thanks for the corrections; it shows that my Unix experience is
a little "dated"... ;-)

And, yes, that (omission of any mention of activation groups,
file override scoping, etc.) was left out intentionally, so as not to
"scare off" the innocents... :-)

IMHO, ILE should be taught in a "layered" curriculum, and stuff
like overrides and activation groups and scoping can come later.

Regards,

Mark S. Waterbury
