I'm running SPF/Pro 5.0 on Windows 8.1 without any problems. For several years now when I upgrade Windows or switch machines I simply copy the SPFPro directory over to the new version/machine. Then I create a shortcut for SPFPROW.EXE on my desktop. You do need to open the shortcuts

I have _no_ desire to obtain SPF/PRO or any other Windows software. I was just curious how much of ISPF it actually mirrors. Only the editor? Editor+macros (what macro languages?)? Complete Display Manager? On Wed, Oct 30, 2013 at 8:55 AM, Dave Cole dbc...@gmail.com wrote: At 10/30/2013 09:40
