For what it's worth (which is not much, I realize) I generally read this kind of thread with interest and sometimes chime in. Not saying you're wrong, Rex, just casting my own vote the other way.
There are lots of threads that don’t interest me, but it's very little work to ignore 'em. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* User error.

This kind of stuff is for sitting around a SKIDS table at Share (if those still exist) while having a beer, not on this list. Please stop the chatter on this. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Crawford Robert C (Contractor) Sent: Friday, September 8, 2023 7:47 AM I used WYLBUR at Texas A&M University in the early 80's. It worked well enough for undergraduate programmers although it got very slow towards the end of the semester when everybody was trying to finish their final projects. The EXEC facility was pretty slick. I hated the line editor but didn't know any better. When I got my first real job someone showed me SPF edit and I thought I'd died on gone to heaven. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
