RE: AS/400 shareware WAS New Opcodes - %SETCELL

[Buck Calabro <mcalabro@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My wife would absolutely kill me if I told her that I wanted to spend
US$30/month on an AS/400 AND do "fun" programming in my "spare time" after
working 60 hours a week.  Maybe I need a job with a big bureaucracy where I
can work my 7.5 hours a day and go home to play with the kids before dinner
and with the AS/400 after.

I have been known to post code snippets, but I am not sure how well they are
received, or if they are even useful.  Several posters have asked for a
central repository and several folks are hosting space.  All in all, it
looks like we've started down the shareware/freeware road.  The big thing
for me is that if I post "real production" code, I'm fired.  We're in a
pretty cutthroat business, and consider our software to be very proprietary.
That means that I often keep my original boilerplate "proof of concept" code
to hand out, yet it isn't really even freeware quality.
