Conrad: Don't apologize. Anything that makes me laugh that hard is worth
the long-distance phone bill!

Everybody: Conrad implies that my PACK routine (posted eariler) can cause
disaster if run on anything other than a program object.  I doubt it.  It
seems to leave all objects quite unaltered, unless they are composite
objects containing 1 to 5-digit long binary integers immediately followed
by SYSEVALs, in which case those (and those only) get PACKed.  So don't
worry about pressing it by mistake and tanking your RAM.   [-jkh-]
