RE: Modifying MAPICS

I have been working with MAPICS and doing modifications since 1985 and would 
HIGHLY recommend putting the modified MAPICS in a user library designed just to 
contain MAPICS modifications.  This will allow you as well as anyone else that 
comes into your shop to very easily identify all MAPICS mods.  I have gone into 
a lot of MAPICS shops where it was extremely hard if not impossible to identify 
the modifications.  That makes it fun when applying PCMS or going to a new 
release!   Just ensure that the library is above AMALIBx in your MMLIST file.
