Semantics is: "the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning." Well, off my soap box.

It must be _properly_ translated (which is not just substitute Russian words for English word one-for-one). The effect is, hopefully, that the same story is told. However from a __USER'S__ perspective (not a BOFH like me), if the program works and produces the same answer, then it has been "copied". It is just not a bit-for-bit identical copy as it would be with a PDS to PDS copy of a load module. > > Charles > > -- He's about as useful as a wax frying pan. 10 to the 12th power microphones = 1 Megaphone Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
