We did indeed do this mod to save an enormous amount of time in the run of
INV900.  I believe we put it in way back in our V3.x days.  We are currently on
V405CD.  We run the purging program only when we need to recover some disk space
or we feel there is just "too much" data in the ITH (I don't think we've run it
for over a year now).

Our modification to the program was to comment out 4 statements in INV900:  The
Exsr $ITH, Exsr $ITH1, and the Move *Zeros ITSEQ statements before each of these
Exsr's.
