If you can explain why without deriding anyone, Bill, I'd be interested in knowing why. I first encountered ROSCOE in 1980 and used it for a while without thinking much about it. When I realized I could change things around in it, I got excited.
It was another two years before I was exposed to ISPF. I still have ROSCOE on my resume, but there isn't much excuse for it; I haven't touched it since then, so if anyone asked me to do anything with it I'd have to start over. If you were already familiar with ISPF and thought ROSCOE a poorer product, I guess that makes sense. I didn't know anything about ISPF until ~after~ ROSCOE, so I was unable to compare them. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* A woman means by Unselfishness chiefly taking trouble for others; a man means not giving trouble for others....Thus while the woman thinks of doing good offices and the man of respecting other people's rights, each sex, without any obvious unreason, can and does regard the other as radically selfish. -from The Screwtape Letters by C S Lewis */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Bill Johnson Sent: Thursday, September 7, 2023 16:06 We used to use ROSCOE at a small shop in the 80’s because it used less resources.
