yup i had some big blue boys telling me that with CICS (iirc) you could
serach and then _select by hand_ what you wanted. i couldn't convince

another day piers needed a number and we had this thing called 'ring'.
more big blue boys and when he got the number in < 1 second (on

err, grep on a flat file.
