Re: To ride The Cycle or not to ride (was Re: INZSR weirdness)

Anti-cylcists?  Lol.  Never knew there was such a thing.  I've run into 
many cycle programs in my career.  So long as they are performing 
correctly, I say leave them alone.  They have their place in report 
generating.  Works nicely too, especially if the program is designed 
correctly.

word.

It's rare that any RPG programmer won't run into a cycle program at
least several times in his career.  do the anti-cyclists or
cycle-deprived rewrite them everytime they have to modify one?
