OK, absolute last time I will correct you on this... Obviously, users will know which (in general) programs have date logic ... and only use the tool for these 5%. So we agree it is a small percentage of the FORTRAN programs ... Say you have 100 FORTRAN programs. The odds are not that 5% of them have date problems (i.e. 5 of them), as you keep trying to say. As a matter of fact, it is quite possible that every single one has some sort of date problem or other. Therefore, every single one would be a candidate to use ACLY's software in order to look for possible problems. When all is said and done, the odds are you will find only 5% of each of the 100 programs has a date problem. But ACLY will get paid for assessing every line of code for every one of the 100 programs. If you don't understand me this time, I'll know you're just playing games. - Jeff
