Sometimes the cynical part of me suspects that OEM vendors in the mainframe area deliberately bloat their applications. Why? To force you to upgrade to a more powerful mainframe. Oh, and the license cost depends on the CPU power of the machine. So, by bloating their code they "solve" two problems: (1) time to market is reduced (due to not needing to overly optimize); and (2) the cost of the software is increased (due to needing a larger machine to run their unoptimized code). Is that a "win-win" situation? <grin>. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
