OOOPS!  Sorry to spread misinformation.  The non-standard version
of the PARAMETER statement will NOT be implemented in xlf V2.

To expand on the "hope" that everyone has now ordered V2 to 
replace V1, upgrades ordered before 3/29 for shipment at 
the initial availability of V2 will be provided at no charge.
After that there will be an upgrade charge of a couple hundred
dollars or so.  
(Yes I'm AGAIN posting from where I've nothing but memory to
 go on.  Some people never learn!)

University Research and Instructional users who obtain AIX
products via the IBM Higher Education Software Consortium
won't see any programs added to it for some months yet, I'm
told.
