Progress means change and from personal  experience, I can tell you that
a great  many users are  uncomfortable with  change. To help  your users
cool off while you and they explore  the benefits of change, I offer the
LM exec. It's just 58 lines of REXX  that peeks at each file in your RDR
and changes the  name to match what  it finds in the  RFC822 headers. It
comes with no documentation and the  standard disclaimer - "if it breaks
or does something nasty, that's  your problem." Still, it's short enough
that you  can easily understand  how it works,  modify it and  then take
credit for  it yourself. Send a  note directly to me  at OSAKB@EMUVM1 if
you'd like a copy.
