Re: "extract" command enhancement(subfiles and BIFs)

["End of the Trail" <endofthetrail@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

S36 subfiles??  I don't know how to do a subfile on a S36 or RPG.  Anything
was usually done using ARRAYS.  You had some power if you know and used
arrays.  I feel the same way about subfiles.  They are very useful and
easier than loading arrays, counting pages, handling rollup&rolldown,
etc....

That is my story and I am sticking to it.
