Dave The key to Aggravator was understanding SMP/E enough that when things broke you could go around in back of it and repair using standard SMP/E
I didn't object to it but it certainly gave me aggravation at times.

Hi Jerry, I actually liked CA-ACTIVATOR. The problem with CA's strategy was that each product area supplied their own CA-90s code. For example, if ACF2 and CA-1 provided CA-90s modules, the results might change depending upon the sequence of APPLYs. When CA figured this out, CA-90s code was supplied only by the CA-90s group. Alas, it was slightly too late.
