Does anyone know if IBM is going to add the "**end-free" to the documentation specification for "**free"?
No.
It _is_ already mentioned in the Programmer's Guide in the section for
preprocessor providers. **END-FREE is only supposed to be added by a
preprocessor that is merging copy files into a single source file.

IBM's position on this is that fully-free source means fully-free
source. But due to the way the precompiler works, it's a necessary evil
that there has to be a way to have both fully-free and column-limited
source in a single _temporary_ source file _created_by_a_preprocessor_.
The alternative would have been that all the copy files for a fully-free
source file also had to be fully-free.
