RE: /FREE RPG compiler errors

CODE has been a very poor development tool since the
early days of the 400 (personally, I find that a little $25 bit of shareware
called TextPad is a superior development tool to CODE).

When was the last time you used CODE?  I can't see how TextPad (which I have
been using for years) is better for RPG than CODE?

Please explain since you were bold enough to make the statement:-)

I'm with Gibbsy there.  CODE has been a very poor development tool since the
early days of the 400 (personally, I find that a little $25 bit of shareware
called TextPad is a superior development tool to CODE).  I haven't used any
of
the WDSC stuff, but because of the bloat, I can't really see the point.

>But we digress :)

Do we?  I dunno man.  I think that development tools are germane to this
discussion.  I don't like development tools for the 400.  I also don't like
the
build tools for the 400-- the only one that seems to work for ILE is
TMKMAKE,
and that's not even part of the OS.
