Is there any documentation of FPLCMPRX other than the code? It is easy enough to see what the NODATE and NOJOIN options do and to determine that a secondary output stream gets the comments that have been removed, but are there other goodies hidden under the hood? It appears that it can be freely substituted for CMPRREXX, and it does do a better job of squeezing the gas out of a Rexx program.
