Personally, I am SO glad that I do not have to be responsible for the mess THAT

in. I TRIED in vain to explain the risks of doing something like that. And this 
was back
in the pre-TCP/IP days of the AS/400 (unless you had purchased it...), EARLY 
ODBC days
and I could SEE where this was headed (and no, I DON'T claim to be prophetic 
<BG> !)...
