I’ve been a filePro programmer since 1.0 days back in the mid 80s and this
issue has never arisen before.



Okay, here’s a few thoughts:



1.       What if we use the same output processing in different areas using
different auto processes. How do we do that?

2.       Essentially you’re saying that when we specify a –y none or –y “”
on the menu line and compiled the output processing without a –y process
being specified, then it’s going to auto-compile with the regular auto
process, so what is the point of bypassing the auto process there?

3.       Does the –v process also have to be compiled with the alternate
auto process?
