Re: RE: CODE/400

[David Morris <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Simon,

The original version of Flex/Edit only ran under OS/2.  It had several features 
that 
the current version could use.  The ability to open a live summarized view of a 
source 
member was feature.  Which was first?  I don't know, but I started using 
FlexEdit 
with version 1.3 of OS/2.  OS/2 at that time was seriously crippled by it's 
lack of 
flexibility in assigning IRQ's.  In order to use a bisync card I had to disable 
my mouse.  
Several patches later on V2 that was fixed.

Sounds like Flex/Edit was an incomplete environment.  Useful but to awkward to 
keep using it.  
CODE/400 was around before Flex/Edit and it was complete so why didn't you use 
that -- oh 
silly me it only ran on OS/2 and popular opinion said that was a dead operating 
system (notice 
they're still saying that 4 or 5 years later).

Simon Coulter.
