RE: System 3 Code

Mike,

Yeah, although that's actually a pretty small part of the MAPICS code base
today, and in fact the only reason it's still there is that it doesn't need
changes often enough to justify a re-write.  Some of the earlier add-ons and
re-writes (code written or redone in the MAPICS II days on the /36) are
actually worse than the really old S/3 stuff.

and, although I may be opening a can of worms here, that is one of the main
problems with the MAPICS code!
