Not only that, but (unless I'm in a time crunch), I KEY IN the code that
I am "borrowing" so I can learn what was done in that code. I think one
of the first times I did this was with Bob's Programmer Menu - 2000+
lines of CL code. MAN! What a learning experience. (I'm still using that
menu today.) Did the same with the commands he was teaching as well.
Best education I've had!

I can't steal, er, use
ILE modules and service programs from outside if I don't use ILE.

It's not stealing if you're taking something that's freely available.
Thinking that using outside code is somehow not as good as building your
own is, I believe, also known as NIH syndrome. I know it's hard to let
go of this, but if the i5 community wants to survive, I think it needs
to get over that hurdle.
