RE: What do you like about Code/400?

I agree with Cyndi.

It took me about a month or so of frustration before I got to the point
where I started to think of it as an improvement over SEU.  Now I use SEU
only when I must.

Code isn't perfect but it provides value-added features which I (now) find
indispensible.

I got a lot of help from people on this list, too, so if you have specific
questions - post them.  Someone will tell you how they're doing it.
