Very nice Ken. I will not be at IPROF this year, due to a scheduling
conflict, so I will vote here.

YES.YES.YES.YES.YES.YES.YES.YES.YES.YES.

Interesting enough, I sent HP a proposal to up the cobol
support fees so we could get the '97 enhancements from HP, not from
another compiler company. I didn't get a response, so I won't say
who I sent it to. But I have no problem paying extra if I get extra.

And we, as you clearly indicated have also, have $$$$$ invested
in HP3k s/w solutions that cannot and hopefully will not be wasted.
