      All in-line field definitions are moved to 'D' specs.  Duplicate definitions (which do not generate compiler errors when defined in fixed-format) are dropped to avoid confusion.
 *     Consistent free-form definitions.
      File, constant and variable declarations are converted to their free-form equivalents (see caveats below).
-*     SEE/Change-friendly
-     Converted lines have their original change date (and prefix) preserved, which fools SEE/Change into thinking that the line hasn't changed.  This is useful because converted lines aren't flagged as changed, whereas any lines that are subsequently changed/added are highlighted, meaning that a source can be converted to free-form as part of an amendment and only the actual changes performed subsequent to the conversion are flagged, making the actual changes stand out from the conversion.
+*     CMS-friendly
+     Converted lines have their original change date (and prefix) preserved in order to avoid flagging changes in CMSes that use such features to track changes.
 *     Audit Report
      An audit report is produced listing every source member processed by the utility, detailing the number of lines, the number of lines converted and a conversion ratio.
