YES YES YES YES YES!

If IBM wants to push Code/400 then they should respectfully retire it's
predecessor.  Microsoft no longer bundles EDLIN with DOS.

Some of my customers have production machines that have no SEU, 
no RPG compiler to save the $20k license fee (620)  When a CL pgm
crashes and they need an emergency fix, CPYF the member to a "flat"
file, DFU the flat file, CPYF it back and compile it.  It would take maybe
10 minutes to write a "cheap" editor to load that flat file into a subfile
and wrap a CL program to do the CPYF's for those "emergency" times
when you can't start the machine and need to fix QSTRUP on a green
screen...

Let the "old timers" keep SEU if they want, but don't sell it on new
releases.  Code/400 will sell itself.
