Re: Format command for externally-described

Deliberate - yes. But not to "push" people - encourage maybe.

There was a significant cost involved in keeping the SEU syntax checkers up-to-date and I suspect that that was a stronger motive for IBM than any "push" towards RDi. It was also a statement that SEU was deprecated and should not be seen as part of the future - frankly, I think that is the correct view.

There is no technical reason why SEU could not be enhanced ... perhaps we
need to lobby IBM to release the SEU source code as "open source"?
