At first glance, there seem to be several potential problems (e.g., "finger pointing" when things break, divergence between the code generator and the run-time, keeping in synch with new version releases of both components, and the surprises that result when, say, the previously unused feild in some control block gets used by the code generator, only to discover that the third-party run-time has been using it for something else...). Any real problems, or has it been pretty smooth? Thanks for your responses, Chuck Howell MITRE, Mail Stop Z-645 7525 Colshire Drive McLean, VA 22102-3481 howell@community-chest.mitre.org
