RE: Code to move left justified alpha to numeric

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <art@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got an email from Barbara that was supposed to contain attachments of the
correct source.  She thinks maybe the web site was missing something.

Problem is there were no attachments.  I'm waiting for them.

I don't know how many times I've sent an email and forgot to attach the
document.

Hmmm... sounds like you added a 2nd P-spec defining the subprocedure.
All you needed to do was add the word "export" to the exisitng P-spec,
not add a whole new P-spec.

If you didn't add a new P-spec, then take a look at the /COPY line, and
make sure that it's referencing themember with the prototypes, not the
member with the actual procedures in it.
