First, I agree that SEU still works. So does edlin, I imagine. Neither
would be my first choice.

Second, CODE/400 was originally produced for OS/2. Crashing wasn't a
problem.

Third, yes, CODE/400 does allow you to edit print files with them
displaying as they really print. You can put header, detail, and footer
specs all on the same screen for editing and line up all the columns by
drag and drop.

But I understand they have now improved the product. I haven't seen the new
version yet.

How often can you afford to be unexpectedly out of business?
Get an AS/400.
