Re: PDM/SEU

 >> SEU is has *NOT* outlived its usefulness.

Perhaps I should have said "In my opinion ......" which it is.  No matter how
good, bad, or indifferent Windoze is, the productivity gains from using a PC
based tool like Code/400 outweigh it.  I am no fan of MS products as anyone who
knows me will attest and I hope that Code will be available for other platforms
in the future.  Windoze is reality - I don't have to like it but I fought
against it for many years but marketing hype clearly beat out function and
common sense.  That is reality - I have had to learn to accept it.

Regardless of my opinion or yours - it is a simple fact of life that as far as
IBM is concerned SEU is dead.  They have made their last enhancement to the tool
in V4R2 which was to give those of you who wanted to remain in the green screen
world the opportunity to add your own functions to the editor.  No matter how
much you hate PCs, Billy Boy, etc. it won't change that.

Personally I'm happy - even with regular Windoze crashes I'm personally more
productive with Code than with SEU/SDA/etc.  You can hear the screams for miles
on those occasions when I have to use SEU.

 >> much less have an outrageously expensive and not much more useful product
like Code/400 installed on each of these PC's

The expensive part IBM are taking care of.  See the V4R5 announce and watch for
other announcements.  "not much more useful" - I'm sorry but to me that just
tells me you have no idea what the product can do.
