RE: Difference bet. Primary and Full procedural file.

Jeff, I didn't say I didn't understand it.  But just because I understand it
does that mean I must use it.  We have several people here who love to do
things in REXX.  Great language for some things, however when they start to
code things that way and expect the other 20 or 30 programmers to understand
what it does is that necessarily a good way to code.  Not everyone here
knows REXX as many of the other languages or details in those languages.  I
know COBOL also, but when a program in 36 COBOL comes along I will do my
darndest to let someone else make the changes.

I was going to reply just as smart-alecky as you did, but decided
against it.  If you didn't read Doug's entire post and get it, you
wouldn't get this either.  Rob Berendt replied better anyway.

Doug's whole point was just because it's been around for years and years
doesn't mean it isn't valuable.  It's been pointed out many times on
various lists just how old Unix is.
