After "Hello World" (output only ...obv), I like an "age" program :
/* rexx */
say 'What is your name ?'
pull name
say 'What is your age ?'
pull age
yb = 2020 - age
say 'You were born in the year ' yb

I've had the most fun with Hercules, poking around with "bare metal" programs.

Instead of these work arounds to use a prehistoric DOS-based editor why
don't you switch to an IDE?
The best IDE for Java is Intellij IDEA which has highly advanced code
analysis/refactoring features. What exactly does SPF/PC buy you?

No can do. The SPF/PC 4.0.7 editor is DOS-based, but has an extender to
use whatever memory it needs > 640K.
It's Windoze that needs fixing.

Thanks, but never mind.
The change to using '.jav' instead of '.java' for the compiler would
have to be done at Java's implementation level, i.e. as a sysadmin or
sysprog. I have found no-one among the Java developers and course tutors
who could tell me how to do this. So I thought this list
Fortunately I bought TSPF while Tritus was still selling it, so I never had to
deal with CTC. It runs under DOS, OS/2 and 32-bit windoze; alas, there is no
Linux version. It's much more compatible with ISPF than SPF/PC.
Yes, I do have FreeDos on my OS/2 machine, but I hardly ever use it.

Yes - I still use DOS and SPF/PC, which are about 20 times faster
CPU-wise than Windows XP (the last version that still supports DOS
applications.)
Thanks for the 'support'.

Many professors enjoy teaching, but hold their class load down to a level that
lets them do their research. Others dislike teaching and let their graduate
assistants and such teach as many classes as possible. IMHO, iit is better to
accommodate the preferences of the faculty.

Seems pretty usual for tenured professors to farm out teaching to locums
and do "research".
As for what they do on a sabbatical, research...

It also depends on the person writing the code itself.

I would think this is a change you'd make not in Java but in Windows. Windows
keeps a list of "associations", so that when you double-click on a file with
extension .xlsx, for example, it knows to run Excel. Every time I get a new
computer, I change the association for .rtf to run WordPad
