You seem to be getting me wrong, right from the start. I appreciate your work on removing
char2-char16. I also think it is the correct step. You have the hackers behind you, the discussion was
about 2 - 3 weeks ago. I was part of it. There are three things that will need documentation:
    1. the replacement for char16 is char(16)
    2. char(16) gives and ignores trailing blanks
    3. refer to VARDATA(someparameter) to get your (char *) in a C function

This description makes me happy. It is exactly what I wanted to express.

Gosh, I sure did not want to nag, sorry if that is how you interpreted it.
