This INCLUDE capability is low overhead and easily integrated with existing code, which is how it was developed. The presentation will show some of the pitfalls that were overcome and examine the execution time impacts.

First at Research Triangle Park, NC and then with the "Special Planned Products" group that offered time-sharing computing from new facilities in Tampa after the Consent Decree expired. Les has presented at previous Symposiums many times, finally breaking out of the dinosaur age of foils and an overhead projector to using a PC at the 25th Annual Symposium in Germany in 2004.
