RE: Function Opinion

["Chevalier, Rick" <Rick.Chevalier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Duane,

I am following this thread with much interest because this issue is
starting to arise in our shop.

What I don't understand about the one module per service program
approach is this, if you create a module to then create a service
program isn't the service program redundant?  It seems that it would
unnecessarily complicate things.  Why not just bind the module into your
program and not worry about the service program?
