Only thing is that if you used subroutines - you would only have to recompile the subroutines. :-) For example (with no error checking flags, etc - no use of COMMON, etc) CALL OPEN.THAT.FILE(F.HPMAST,HPMAST.FILE) WAITFLAG = False CALL LOCK.THAT.RECORD(F.HPMAST,HPMAST.KEY,WAITFLAG) CALL

We had the same problem where the INCLUDE file was dropped onto a samba share from source-safe. The fix was to read each program entry in and write it out with a trailing attribute mark. This was a problem for more than includes. Once I did that, everything worked OK. It was some weird EOF
