It's compiled, Bob... it's not literal text or data, so it
doesn't matter what i use.  It also makes the subprocedure
names stand out.  IBM uses %, I use #.  I use $ for
subprocedure names as well.   

I like it, I use it...  Never had one problem with it, and
it's being used in my software in thousands of shops in
pretty much every country in the world.

It's only 2004, close (or "nearly") only counts in
horseshoes.  Next time you want to attack me personally (or
if you want to say that wasn't a personal attack), do it
offline.
