RE: SEU vs. ?

["Rusling, John B. (Alliance)" <jbrusling@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ooops. Trying to do 3 things at once. Disregard reply before this.

Actually Doug, I'd be another 'heretic'.

I've been using Flex/Edit since Paul Picante had it.  Ran it programming on
a System 36.
(I had a 21" monitor then too :-)

As long it keeps running, I'll keep using it.  I'd be on CodeStudio if this
ever quit running.  I should add, in all fairness to IBM, I haven't put
forth the effort to really try Code/400 at all, yet.

Any more Flex/Edit(ors) out there?

John B.

ps. Your cartoon example is truly (and sadly) hilarious!

Rick,

This reminds me of a cartoon I once saw.  It was a desert scene, with two
opposing armies of soldiers on camels, with each soldier holding a sword.

The two front lines were still some distance apart, and there was a tent
with
the sign which read "General" or somesuch.  Outside it was a salesman with a
gattling (sp?) gun.  Inside the general was saying, "Tell him I don't have
time
to talk to a salesman!  I've got too much to do."

That's how I view SEU vs a "real" editor. <g>  At some point, you can't
afford
*not* to get more productive.  It always amazed me that the market wouldn't
support products like CodeStudio or Flex/Edit.

Flex/Edit is *still* my favorite programming editor (sorry Bob <g>), but
then
I've ugraded it to newer versions of the CodeWright engine even after Aldon
mothballed the product.  I'm probably one of the only heretics left running
Flex/Edit.
