Hi Will,

PK> Rule of S/W upgrades #271 - "For each and every upgrade 
PK> there will be an associated downgrade and period of

 WH> Mike R. re. a new release of Theseus - I really use that program a lot
 WH> so this was good news, indeed.

I think I spent long enough at the bleeding edge with the V2.0, 2.1 and 2.11
betas, these days I try and wait for the blood to gell a bit before I move in
and sample the wares.....;-) I saw the update notice for Theseus and expected
a few of you folks to be pleased, but Theseus is not a product I have spent
more than a day looking at, having successfully managed to remove myself from
the code level part of S/W development about 4 years ago. 

I guess Theseus is more appropriate to those closely aligned to the physical
code level, fortunately 99% of everything I have needed in the past 4 years
has so far been handled by REXX, and I dont really consider writing REXX as
coding, its more "logical" level type work. Using REXX to achieve a result is
more related to just putting "tools" into a particular sequence to obtain a
solution. If anyone can demonstrate that Theseus can be useful for REXX work
then it may be time for me to give up on REXX as well.........;-)

Cheers..........pk.
