Steve,
I've been using SPF/PRO 5.04 for probably over a decade or more. My
experience is the same as yours. When I tried it on WIN 8, it failed to start.
I forget the symptom, but my PC guru, Frank, says, "64-bit WIN8
expressly prohibits 16-bit programs, and SPF/PRO starts up as a
16-bit program." He goes on to say that SPF/PC should work in 32-bit WIN8.
In any case, personally I need SPF/PRO far more than I need WIN8, so
for the foreseeable future, I'm keeping my business machines on WIN7.
As for SPF/SE, when CTC first came out with it as a "replacement" for
SPF/PRO, I was hugely disappointed. I don't remember all the details,
but it was utterly incompatible with SPF/PC in its user interface,
and IIRC, it no longer supported REXX as its macro language.

Has anybody gotten SPFPRO to run on Windows 8.1 (or
even 8.0, for that matter)?
Looks like I'll have to give up one of my favorite tools.
Kind regards,
