Re: RPT vs RPG

Have you started working with prototypes yet?  That is a perfect place to
keep many different code snippets in one place and only pull in the one you
want with the compiler directives.  I have hundreds in one source member
called PROTOTYPES (original, huh?). You don't have to search around a lot to
find what you want.  It also makes a very nice "dictionary" of prototypes,
although I would like to have something a little more automatic.

As to retrofitting old code, whatever works.....

Also, did you see Barbara's note about the new /Include directive?
