RE: CODE/400

["Popeil, Russ" <Russ.Popeil@xxxxxxxxx>]

Great Idea.
Having used code/400 and liked it, I too have stayed away from it do to lack
of acceptance at clients/shops . If everyone had it, all of the excuses
would be gone for not using Code. Except in those shops were programmers are
using NPT's. 

How many are still coding on NPT's
