Code/400 in the OS/2 era :-)
Ah - fond memories. Ironically, it was almost impossible to get anyone
to adopt CODE/400 initially: OS/2 and the price tag, (in 4-figures!) put
most off. (IIRC it cost around 2,000UKP per user.)
Then the Windows version of CODE/400 came out. Still not many takers,
(sound familiar?). However. when it was bundled "for free" with ADTS
folk started to take an interest - just as WDT/WDSc made it's
appearance. We continued to use CODE/400 with WDSc because the latter
had no screen/report design tool. (I still think the CODE Designer was
easier to use than the Screen/Report Designer we have in RDi.) Let's
not forget VARPG as well!
Check this out:
"We're always amazed at the number of shops with huge development
backlogs that continue to use the tools and techniques of the past.
There are better ways to develop RPG applications than using source
entry utility (SEU), screen design aid (SDA) and report layout utility
(RLU)."

they stay the same, eh?
