You will find that your variable names and function names are preserved. 4GL modifies some names, such as those of windows and (notoriously) cursors. All changes to the C code will, of course, be lost next time you compile with 4GL. Have a look at the C code and marvel at how much 4GL does and the inefficiency with which it does some of it. -- Peter Lancashire Information Systems Specialist, Bayer plc Eastern Way, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP32 7AH, UK Tel: +44-1635-562258, Fax: +44-1635-562281 --- If all else fails, read the instructions AND the release notes.
