That's true if they don't need to be changed. But a program that has to be changed periodically does become harder to maintain, partly due to different programming styles of many different programmers making changes. And as to Y2K, there was a story in Computerworld in the early 1970's (IIRC) about a 105 year old woman who had received an invitation from her local elementary school to register for kindergarten. I was an application programmer at the time. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
