RE: WRKDBF Enhancement Requests -- MIDRANGE-L

Bill,

I've followed this thread with great interest...!  (Albeit, not too
closely.)  This is the way it should work...!  I've put this thread in a
separate folder, so I could re-read the replies later.  I've always had an
interest in this kind of utility, since I first ran across DBU, back in the
early-80's, IIRC.

This is obviously JMHO, but I think making the code Open Source is the
***least desirable*** of several alternatives.

I firmly believe in the methodology of Extreme Programming
(http://www.extremeprogramming.org/).  I know, from experience, that this is
not just another theory.  It does, in actual fact, work.  I don't view it as
a radical departure from the way good code has been produced in the past,
either, BTW.

===> I am offering to help you on your WRKDBF command (pro bono, of course).
It is a way for us to explore the concept of Extreme Programming, by way of
applying the methodology to a real-world situation.  IMV, this is absolutely
the best way to learn something, and I want to learn more of the theory
behind this concept.  I've used it, intuitively, but don't know much about
the theory.

One of the primary benefits, if you want to take this offer seriously, is
that you'd continue to own WRKDBF, both legally and intellectually.  As it
happens, I have available time to add another iron or two to the fire.  But
rather than waste everyone's time, I'd like to follow-up (off-list) with
more details, if you don't mind.

===> Either way, thanks for the utility...!  I think it's a great tool...!
