And a car is a turn-key product like a toaster or a VCR. If I work in a business that makes custom cars out of stock vehicles it is not reasonable to have the original factory supply me (for free) with all of the custom tools I need. >If IBM supply CRTCLPGM *Cmd, what is the >point without the editor? For a turn-key system (say JDE software and iSeries hardware sold together by a BP) you don't (in theory!) need an editor or compiler. I believe the inclusion of CRTCLCMD in the base OS was a decision based on bundling CL as an integrated part of CPF. --buck
