AREV Specific

Hi,

  I've been testing out a routine to convert all '.' (dots) to '_' (underscores), to get ready for Open Insight. We have a few programs, that we have purchased, so we dont have the source code. My question is, will running the search and replace in the Object code be good enough? Or will we have to have the source code, in order to re-compile?

Dangerous unless it specifically only changes the literal table at the end of the code. Periods might exist as part of opcodes so a generic swap may be dodgy.

Not only that, periods could exist in literals that point to things other than dictionary names. Examples include program names.
