Pete.

Had a bud who's boss had them print out the source for every COBOL
program they had. They did incremental and full backups, but sure
enough after a hard drive crash they were missing a few programs. The
secretary hand entered the code from the printed listings so for once a
boss had a good idea :0)

But, this tool/service would have accomplished the same thing mechanically... That is the point. Now, if the HD contained both the executable and the source, listings are nice to have. In most cases, I do not trust listings unless they can be guaranteed to be the last listing by matching them with the executable. This is especially true if your listing does not have the option turned on to list the compiler options used. Different compiler options, even with the same source code can produce different results.
