When I joined our programming team in the 90's, I made it clear that I 
would not attempt to learn macro. I didn't.

I later did the port from Alpha to Itanium, and I found one piece of 
macro code that didn't work, so I rewrote in DEC Basic. It was helpful 
that the function well documented as to it's parameters, and output, so 
it worked 100%

Do I get a fiver? ;)
