In my haste, I'm sure this didn't come across properly.  

My previous employer has always had twinax-attached PC's.  He looked at
going TCP/IP a few years ago, but decided that too many things would break.
One of those things was my lone copy of Flex/Edit.  If we had been using
Code/400 in 1994 and switched to LAN attached PC's, we *would have* lost
the "native" connection to the AS/400.  That (TCP/IP) connection wasn't restored
until 1998.  This would be a 3+ year gap in usability/availability, whatever.

And, yes, I know full well that I could manually FTP my source around, but 
that sort of defeats the purpose of having an integrated development system.
