As quoted from <882@hoqax.UUCP> by twb@hoqax.UUCP (BEATTIE):
+---------------
| Gee I'm sure glad this "Filtering Program" was posted.
| What does it filter?
+---------------

As far as I can figure out, it's an attempt at menu security for a COBOL A/P
package of some kind.  (As such it is doomed to failure.)

+---------------
| Why is source code posted without any indication of its function?
+---------------

In this case, because (a) it arrived without any indication of its function;
(b) there was no useable From:, Path:, or Reply-To:, and (c) I am not supposed
to reject sources.  Sorry.
