I'm getting out of the business if I can. Though I did love it. Cole's essay on programming was terrific. - Paul Hanrahan

We have no one here who understands basic JCL, let alone any compiled or interpreted language. I'd gladly giv e away everything I have developed over the years, even to the point of allocating a PDS(E) for the borrower, populating it, showing them how........etc etc etc. My comments in JCL and source are comprehensive and written to an 8th grade level of understanding. Case in point, years ago we downloaded Nigel Pentland neat stuff, no one is interested. I'm not sure what our current criteria for hiring is, but in my long life I could have achieved it in 6th grade.

However, in addition to the whiners are the whiners' managers who back them up and cause me "political" problems. It is just "easier" for me to deny them the ability to even get started on me. It saves me time and effort. And keeps my blood pressure down. > > I have always seen source hiding in circumstances like this as silly > and sneaky. I never do this. B-but I __like__ being sneaky!
