I guess I will uninstall 5769-JS1 since WRKJOBSCDE can work without it
as Loyd, Scott, Andy and you have mentioned.  Thanks everybody, I may
save $2300 after all. But I am curious, what more does this thing do
anyway for the price tag?  The blurb on the catalog is not all that
clear.  Does everybody else use it too?
