RE: Verifier Performance

["Reeve Fritchman" <reeve@xxxxxxxxxx>]

What about the new IFS directory format ("Type 2"?) in V5R2?  I thought
supported some of the stuff necessary to make IFS source practical.  How
would CODE know which syntax checker to invoke if an IFS source file didn't
have a source type?

Then again, maybe I shouldn't ask...
