A number of people have contacted me off-list with questions about the FEX command, so this email will hopefully clarify some points.
First, FEX is going to be part of the next SimpList release (i.e. version 2.1). It is deeply imbedded in the SimpList libraries (e.g. uses SimpList panel and message libraries etc), and therefore requires the SimpList libraries to be installed. However, FEX can continue to be used even after the trial has expired; i.e. it does NOT require a SimpList license and therefore beta testers are free to continue using the FEX command forever more. Second, FEX can be used in ANY edit or view session; i.e. you do NOT have to be in a SimpList session in order to use the FEX command. Third, other extended edit and view commands have always been available in SimpList, and can also be kept after the SimpList trial has ended. For example, FN (Find Next) can be entered on any edit or view command to find the next occurrence of whichever string the cursor is pointed at. COMPRESS can be entered to free unused space, and so on. Fourth, what's required of the beta testers is to simply use the FEX command and provide feedback; likes, dislikes, suggestions for improvement (etc). If there are any additional questions then please let me know. If anyone is interested in being a beta tester there are still a few places left so please contact me off-list. Thanks, Dave Salt SimpList(tm) - try it; you'll get it! http://www.mackinney.com/products/SIM/simplist.htm _________________________________________________________________ New: Messenger sign-in on the MSN homepage http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9677403 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
