	In a short reply to a long posting... Amen. Yes. Agreed. Go for it.
	
	Just look at ibm products (for the big machines) that make all
	new advances look like 1960's technology so the os can cope!
	I have a friend who uses CMS (?) and the machine considers his 
	terminal to be a "virtual card reader" why in 1987 is "card reader"
	still in the vocabulary at ibm? IBM profits dropped sharply last year
	as they have been doing for some time now. But, everythings compatible!
	C-A is just off a losing streak,  they should be looking at this
	sort of thing for good ideas on what NOT to do. If it needs rewriting
	rewrite! Damn the torpedoes full speed ahead!
