I suspect you probably need to stage the creation of service programs.  Rather 
than just 
wack in a new module or proc when the programmer completes it, save them until 
you have 
a few -- enough for a point release -- and put them all in together.  You 
really don't 
want to be creating signatures for each procedure.  Of course that all depends 
on how 
your development process is managed.

Simon Coulter.
