_That_ in my opinion is the opportunity that was missed. When they
decided to spend the money to bring the pre-compiler up-to-date they
should have spent the additional $ up front to switch to a technology
that would have minimized the impact of future changes. They opted
instead to spend a little less at the time and to keep spending, and
spending and ... That plus the inevitability of one day falling
further out of sync again.

This makes me want to cry....

If a company like IBM is unwilling to spend a little extra now to do things the "right" way to save
maintenance costs over the long run...

How can I possibly believe _my_ management will be willing to do so?
