SLOOOOW comp. never mind

To all those who were worried that I was dying of slow compilation, forgive my stupidity. Turns out to be a simple problem of causing optimized compilation. It's set in INFORMIXDIR/etc/c4gl for those of you who are curious. It had been modified eons ago at installation of i4gl. My re-installation of it, brought back the original condition. Cheers, or is that Boos -- Con Woodall Colorado St. U.; Veterinary Teach. Hosp.; Ft.
