Jeff,

>why do you do it the way you do?

I'm with you.  One global binding directory.  One module per service program,
named the same as the service program and using *Caller.  One bindery source per
module / service program, with current and previous signatures for all exports
in that service program.  Multiple functions per service program, but grouped by
categories.  For example:

  - String functions
  - Date functions
  - Data queue functions
  - User space functions
  - User index functions
  - WS and DSPF functions
  - Etc.

For each I have a /copy member with the respective prototypes.  Other copy
members have prototypes for various APIs using ExtPgm().  Either way, all I have
to do is name a /copy, and I have a set of related procedures at my disposal.

Everything is extremely simple to implement, maintain, and use.  I have yet to
have any problems with doing it this way.  Even without a change mangement
system or sophisticated make utility for dependencies.
