Hum, have you ever run in a shop with a paranoid Change Control manager? <grin> Nothing gets into production unless it goes though change control. For programs, that means moving the source to the correct source library, then recompiling it just to be sure that the executable was indeed created from the source. No moving of compiled programs directly into a library. That violates our auditing standards. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
