SEU is has *NOT* outlived its usefulness.  I'm sorry, but the last thing
in the world that I want to do is be forced to have Micro$hit Windows
(imho, the worlds WORST operating system) installed on every PC that I 
want to edit source on.

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

MUCH LESS BE FORCED TO EDIT MY SOURCE ON A PC!

Despite that I have access to what you might consider "better tools", SEU
is my tool of choice for writing RPG code.  

I don't understand the current trend towards forcing people to use a
graphic client on a PC to do everything!!  The green screen terminal
is simpler, cleaper, cleaner and far more robust!

Yet, IBM's goal seems to be to force everyone using an AS/400 to have to
have Microsoft Winblows running a PC in order to use it?  To me, that just
puts us closer and closer to the day when we don't need the AS/400, and
can just use PC's.  I mean, whats the point of the AS/400 if it can't do
anythign without a Windows machine anyway?
