That depends entirely on the "Terms and Conditions" in the license. I think that IBM allows COBOL in specific cases, such as DB2 Stored Procedures. I don't know if this is truly stealing or just cheating. In any case, I do think that it is outside the "spirit and intent" as one of my high school teachers always used to say. But "spirit and intent" have little to do with "legal". -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
