Tom C: Re: Millennium bug spray ...

Excellent question! The ability to spray certain chemical ingredients onto stacks of compiled code listings in order to remediate the original source code has much merit.

We've been discussing the problem among the executive staff here at FBN. It seems we have all the necessary basics covered (notwithstanding any EPA concerns, of course), but there are a couple of issues that we're stumbling on.

The listings are post compilation, and thus post-pre-compilation phase. How do we handle all the code that must be passed through a preprocessor prior to being compiled? Hmmmm ...

And, how do we access the library management systems that control access to the source code?

Oh, well ... I suppose we can just ignore those minor issues. Many of our competitors do!

Thanks for the suggestion,
