30+ years ago, a friend wrote a CMS ENDCMD NUCEXT (a routine that got control
at the end of a console command) called DWIM - Do What
I Mean. It would look for failed return codes, analyze the command, and "fix"
it. Of course since he'd written it, it worked as he'd
expect it to. And he still HATED it. Maybe a lesson?
