Re: RDi 9.5 announcement

Wow! A living fossil whom uses Punch-cards for RPG...

When do you retire? Congratulations on a long life!

No wonder the Dot-Netters call the "AS400" the "Univac", and refuse to call it the IBM i. Since IBM stopped making the hardware called the "AS400" back 16-years ago...

PS. Do you still use a rotary phone? <LOL> Do you use a T.V. with vaccum tubes!

Yup, no wonder why the dot-netter outnumber the RPGers...

Have heard of Word-Wrap? <smirk>

Why be tied to 60-year-plus 80-column old punch cards??? That every
RPG Developer I know has NEVER used punch cards!

Sorry, I don't know any fossil-type that wrote RPG code on Punch Cards.
That was WAY BEFORE my time! Thank goodness!

Speak of which, does the LPEX editor have a way to turn on Word-Wrap
like other editors?

Microsoft Visual Studio, Microsoft Word, NotePad++, just to name a few
that has word-wrap. Do we have that in RDi? I can't find it.

For XML documents, I use the horizontal scroll bar. Which is okay, I guess.

I would love a ZOOM in/out on the LPEX Text size. But, I know there is
already a PFE out there for that. Maybe in next decade, we might get that.

Vern, I'm all for the idea of more than 80, but if I ever had to read
code statements longer than about 120, I'd require a wrap-around
panoramic monitor (the single 21" flat screen just wouldn't cut it).
Let's keep it within a comfortable field of view, please. Just
because we can doesn't mean we should.
