i think the replace is the way to go. In fact I think replace might be
the way to go for all extentions too,(as per my last email)

I am think that we could develop replace scripts in cobol and then thru
command line switchs do an implicit copy of std ext cobol src into 
the current src, then run thru the compiler.
