Excluding cursing, and including recursing.

Any IT management who chooses that route over 
TwoSimpleProgramsWithNothingButOrdinaryCodeCompile/LinkProcessingAndOrdinaryRunTime.
 is... well, choose your own ending.

Remember, there is Frank's suggestion to have the two programs in one source 
and compile them together, like they have some deep affinity just through 
proximity, that may serve the "do it the way I say" people. 

One COBOL program doing two things (and being shoe-horned with a blow-torch to 
do so) vs two programs *with identical, as in identical, really the same, 
except for no ENTRY* (Ok, not really identical, but you know what I mean) code. 
That's surely easy, even for a CS Grad?
