I too complained about the switch from REXX to C - got me nowhere. Was not happy but the constant hangups in V4 forced me to V6 and a rudimentary learning of C. There's a couple of other not so pleasant things in V6 too, e.g. in 3.4 putting a 'b'rowse on multiple members and it presents from the bottom up. All in all though, a topnotch product. Graham Hobbs
That's nice to know, but I keep the old SPF/PC for one very important (to me, at least) reason: REXX support. I can develop a REXX exec at home and xfer it immediately to my mainframe ISPF environment and know that it will work identically in both locations. And that's saved me a LOT of time. -- Rick -- Remember that if you’re not the lead dog, the view never changes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- William Smith wrote: >Command Technology and its current product SPF/SE (not SPF/PC) is alive and well. The company has relocated from Alameda, CA, to Sun City West, AZ. I still have my copy of SPF/PC 4.07 along with all of the service disks - now archived on a CD. I have the complete set of manuals, too, in pristine condition. As a San Francisco resident, I always loved the beautiful picture of the Golden Gate Bridge and Tiburon Hills that graced the cover of the hard box case in which the product was packaged.
