Well, the industry keeps trying to drill into my head to write code
in reusable modules, objects, routines, etc.  I thought the whole purpose
of XL's was to be able to make it easy to go forward in life by using
routines already designed/written/tested/inuse. Doesn't sound to me
like a forward thinking concept (to not have XL capability). However,
if they don't have XL cap, then what about NL capability? If not
NL -- well, what do they do? If they have NL cap, then why can't
they use XL files?
