Long past time... Most of the rdr and pun routines could be cribbed from sources like CARD (after asking permission, of course). AFAIK, that would only leave tape routines; we might be able to extract something from TAPEMAP under similar circumstances. Alan's suggestion of a CSL routine wrapper would also make them usable from the remaining VM compilers and REXX as well. I guess the question would be how difficult it is to write and integrate a new CSL routine. Any pointers to documentation on such a beast? -- db
