Re: Get Program Verifier into TurnOver -- CODE400-L

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

I don't use Turnover, but in Aldon's A/CMS I have a command that will set my
library list to what A/CMS would use to compile my program.  Are you sure you
don't have similar functionality somewhere in Turnover?
