RE: Procedure names vs. production support

Don't often disagree with Buck but .....

>>> The end result is that the 'procedure' is using as many global variables
as the subroutine did.  This makes interactions inevitable, requiring a
full-up test in situ -
no test jig possible.

Just not true.  _If_ you have moved the "subroutine" to a separate source
(you did say add a nomain so I'm assuming a new source) then you have to
have also moved/copied the relevant variables to the new source.  Either way
(copy or move) the variables are separate and there can be no interaction.
