Re: ILE conversion

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck,

pardon my ignorance, but why are you changing the programs to "ILE"?  Is
there a reason beyond "political correctness" to do so?

Frankly, I submit that unless there's a good reason to goto the new format
(additional functionality being my #1, followed by needing access to
additional data types) you should NOT convert them.  They're smaller,
smaller source, and probably load and run faster as it.

You may want to do some benchmarkers there dude...ILE does have a cost,
IFF indeed you're just moving up to move up...
