Re: pgm object/source comparison

There may be plenty of reasons why compilation fails, especially with
ILE, like default activation groups, objects (mostly files and commands)
not being in the library list etc. It would depend on the errors if
that's the case. Checking out source validity would be a good action
anyway, since even if it recompiles OK, when from a different source,
you may be in trouble.
