And it's a good thought Aaron, but INZ is NOT mandatory.  In fact, I rely on
static variables (as in not initialised) in many of my procedures.  Whether
to initialise or not is really a design decision, rather than a compiler
decision.  I have no problem at all with a low severity warning because I
can always turn up the heat by changing the message file.
