Thanks for asking the questions, because the resultant answers were
informative.

But Geez, man, point some bucks at a competent consultant, and you
wouldn't be in this mess.  He could keep you up to date with an hour /

demands maintenance to continue to perform as expected.  You should
know that.

For my $CLIENT, I'm currently updating a critical ksh program which
hasn't been touched since it was implemented, fourteen years ago.  It's
hell, and it needn't be!
