     Yes, this is 20 year old code that had been pretty well jury-rigged
over the years to do things that I never thought filePro could do (or
wouldn't have attempted myself).  

     The only reason I'm doing some work for this company is as an
occasional maintenance programmer.  I'm trying to keep the old system
running for another year or two while the regular programmers in the IT
department redesign everything from scratch.
