Sometimes it feels like a voice crying in the wilderness.  I've
preferred a PC for editing over SEU for 10 years now.  Even before Win
3.x, I used a PC for editing due to the productivity gains.

Anyone who is not more productive using a PC editor doesn't know how
to use the editor right.  As I've said numerous times before, I think
SEU is fairly remarkable considering its block mode interface.  But it
just is inherently impossible to duplicate what you can do on a
desktop.

This was one of the reasons I was watching the V4R5 announcements, but
I couldn't find any reference to changes in ADTS licensing or
VaRPG/CODE pricing on the web.  I even submitted it during the webcast
as a question, but they of course did not take very many questions.

Today's announcements include some stuff on WebSphere for the 400
(e.g. letter 200-156) but it didn't mention anything about it either.

Has there been anything publicly announced you can point me to?

When I didn't see anything in the V4R5 announcements I thought that
perhaps nothing was changing until V5.
