Not the same thing, but I pretty much stopped accepting updates for software I like and trust a few years ago. I'd gone out looking for some text editor that would display in hex when needed, and hit upon Notepad++, which apparently is pretty popular. Months later, when an update was offered, I accepted without even thinking about it; why not?
Because with the update they discontinued the hex feature, that's why. I found out too late, and couldn't figure out a way to regress. I still use Notepad++ from time to time, but it still rankles. And whenever I'm offered an update nowadays, if it's an app I care about I always decline. Who knows what they'll do to it? Speaking of that, can anyone suggest a good editor that handles hex display on demand? I've never tried ISPF-PC; maybe I should. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Whatever else is true, it is emphatically not true that the ideas of Jesus of Nazareth were suitable to his time, but are no longer suitable to our time.

I assumed it was due to quiet updates to Win 10 and that old unsupported code would never work again. I was staring blankly into space saying, Oh no... oh no... Then I figured out it was just stuck waiting for Samba on a Raspberry Pi that had died overnight.
