It's no secret that the Integrated Language Environment helps us all write more modular applications. Modules and service programs make it easy to construct programs from several small, easily maintained, reusable chunks of code. We can even create programs composed of several different languages.

Although development using modular chunks is easy, there is a bit of trouble in paradise. You sometimes need to know which application programs use particular modules and service programs. This is especially true when you modify modules and service programs, because you must rebind them to your application programs for the changes to take effect. In the past, there has been no convenient way to determine the modules and service programs your applications use. But now, you can have the Anzilepgm utility do the research and present the information to you.
