RE: IBM recomendation-Long Obj Names & sub directories

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think 70 is ok.  I also think it would be cool to be able to put libraries
inside libraries (like dirs and subdirs).  Then you add one library (like
JDE) and it adds all the sublibraries (like JDEPGM, JDEDATA, etc...)
