   How the hell does DCL have 30,000+ lines of code ? :-)   
   (Even allowing for the fact most of it is in Macro-32)   
      
   Also, regarding those BLISS/Macro-32 figures across the various modules   
   in general, I wonder how much smaller the code would have been if it had   
   been written in C ?
