Since, CF specs are IN, would it be possible to allow the user to allow
using/calling his own procedures?

Also, some of the deficiencies in some of the opcodes (like defining dataarea
names to be contained in variables etc.) can be looked into on the CF?

Also, will file handling be possible on the CF?  Also QCMDEXC or execute some CL
statements would be fantastic?

Also, Monmsg type error handling in addition to the ones you are already
supporting using the system reply list?

Also, can we compile it with default error handling options?
