RE: Strange behavior w/%editc()

Martin,

I agree a Linux editor would actually cause me to install and use Linux,
rather than install it, play around, and then reload Windows 2000 on
that machine.
Application support is going to be a chicken and egg situation for a
long time. But I will go out on a limb here and state that I doubt that
more than 1 percent of the AS/400 programmer population is using Linux
as their workstation "OS".
