 >> But you would still have to recompile the programs that used a service
program if you change the parameters and didn't version it in the binder
language.

Not necessarily.  You could, for example, add an additional parameter to the
list for a subproc.  If you add the parm at the end of the list and make it
optional then have the subproc test for it, the existing code will work just
fine.  I agree that in many cases though a change in parms will require not
simply a recompile but also a change in the logic of the calling program.

However, the point I was trying to make is that contrary to popular belief -
parms have zero to do with the signature and therefore had nothing to do
with the original reason for the signature violation.
