OK, I've installed the Compuware Slickedit plugin into RD/z. I have no opinion yet, but on the surface it is very close to the ISPF Editor. Even the <ENTER> key is where it should be (now called Right CTRL, since the PC kids renamed the keys [sic]).
Thanks to all those who responded.

But word on the street is that IntelliJ is much better, especially it's code indexing engine. IntelliJ community edition is free which is pretty good if you're a Java/Android developer, and a whole lot more https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison_matrix.html. For modern web development using languages like Javascript/Node.js it seems the kids have gone back to the future and favor editors like Atom. The main complaint I see about Eclipse is that it's almost impossible to get a bug fixed quickly because core Eclipse has so few maintainers these days. > Scott > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send > email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
