Sure, and a hammer is a poor choice for everyone who looks for a
screwdriver.

AW: AW: [slightly] off topic: SPFPRO on Win 8.1

2013-11-04 Thread Michael Knigge
 It's hardly fair to judge THE by how well it simulates ISPF/PDF EDIT.
 Do you have any issues with its XEDIT compatibility?

THE might be a good tool for everyone who needs/likes an XEDIT-Clone, but it is 
a bad choice for everyone who looks for an ISPF-like editor. The behavior is a 
little bit strange here and there and (last time I tried it) some line and 
primary  commands were missing. IMHO.

Bye,
Michael
