Re: free form alternatives?

Sample *entry replacement:
D Faxtest         PR
D  PhoneNbr                     15A
D  Faxing#                      30A
 * Replaces *ENTRY PLIST
D Faxtest         PI
D  Phone                        15A
D  Fax#                         30A

This replaces:
C     *ENTRY        PLIST
C                   PARM                    PHONE            15
C                   PARM                    FAX#             30

If you have a D spec, type PI, outside of a subprocedure, and it is the
same name as the module itself, then it is the replacement for *ENTRY.  You
may want to put *ENTRY out in the comment section at the far right.
Dinosaurs still roam the earth and will scan for *ENTRY.  They'll
appreciate your consideration.

Now to advance this further I would replace:
D Faxtest         PR
D  PhoneNbr                     15A
D  Faxing#                      30A
 * Replaces *ENTRY PLIST
D Faxtest         PI
D  Phone                        15A
D  Fax#                         30A

with:
D/copy mylib/QPROTOSRC,faxtest
 * Replaces *ENTRY PLIST
D Faxtest         PI
D  Phone                        15A
D  Fax#                         30A

Then, any program calling FAXTEST would use the /copy line also and not
have to redo the prototype.  Understand?

Can somebody let me know if there are free form alternatives to klist/kfld
and *entry plist?

Those are the only 2 things currently stopping me from completely removing
the c-spec from the program I am attempting to convert to free form.
