Jim,

I understand your point about Code/400's price.  However SEU is not free.
You have to purchase 57##-PW1.

Also, understand the following irony.  If graphical tools are so
productive.  And, assuming that tool developers practice what they preach,
and use graphical tools to develop these tools.  Then why are the tools so
danged expensive?  When basically they produce the same end product.

My own counter argument.  While a snow shovel and a snow plow will both
produce the same end product, which do you suppose had the most technology
used in making it?

I use SEU.  Exclusively.

Mainly because I still have to maintain some RPG II code and there is no
justifiable reason to bring it to RPG IV or even RPG III.

The second reason, it's free.
