RE: Re[4]: New Opcodes - %SETCELL

Unfortunately, developments that you do on the company machine, belong
to the company, which means you need prior approval from your boss
before you can start distributing that software as freeware.

Bradley:  Don't be shy about the stuff on your own web site
<http://www.bvstools.com/>.  Have you considered opening it
up to freeware submissions from other people?

>From browsing the links at <http://www.netshare400.com/>, it
looks like there's already a fair bit of stuff out there.
But much more needs to be done to encourage people to share
their RPG code and coordinate what's already available.

Regarding IFS support - Has no-one tried to write a SPECIAL
file program for IFS reads and writes?  It seems like an
ideal use for SPECIAL files.
