Hi Wayne!

 If you'd like to recompile that C code too - just drop us a note!
Newer versions of Systems/C have better optimization too!

We're going through the COBOL 6 compile exercise, on a Z13. The only
hiccups have been source control and the odd JCL error.

One job fell over in a link edit because a module wasn't found. It's been
nearly 15 years since I worked with this system but somehow I remembered
this module. Turns out it's an object module that was compiled using a C
compiler that we never licenced. At the time, I thought we might get the
Dignus C compiler. It never happened. So all these years later we have a
module, that does some primitive encryption, written in C, author unknown.
Fortunately, it's only used in 3 programs. Not the fault of COBOL again.

It's impressive that not much has been misplaced in over 7,000 source
members and other pieces such as BMS maps.

I'm keen to see how the new objects perform too.
