I am surprised about what you and others reply, when I am referring to the discovery of America by Christoffel Columbus in 1492. And to my surprise there is actually no real article in the English and other Wikipedias about at, but an extensive one in the Dutch and German versions.
Anyway, in Columbus' time, the church and other leaders said that the earth was flat and therefor it was the truth and if you sailed to the end, you would fall off. There were scientists that already knew/believed the earth was round and for that reason Columbus tried to find an easier and shorter way to the Indies by sailing west i.s.o. east and all the way around Cape Town. That is what I meant when I said, if we all obeyed the rules, we (Columbus) would never have discovered America. Of course others have discovered the continent already before him, but that was unknown at that time.

But 32768 is a useful argument to BPXWDYN. Nowadays in a concatenation the greatest LRECL dominates. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
