- CTC -- Command
Technology Corporation -- who brought you SPF/PC and SPF/2.
Besides allowing me do work on a PC in a familiar manner I also
like the manuals that come with the product, and the online manual.
The people who ran SPF/PC into the ground with a useless SPF/SE package
that does not support REXX macros
gave up or lost their 800 phone number and their website
[archives]. their new location
on the web appears to have dropped the hyphen and is now http://www.commandtechnology.com/main.asp?pg=home and it looks rather sick, more like they have a bunch
of boxes of SPF/SE to sell and no buyers and no support. That's my take on what I see.
The SPF/PC product has been discontinued as of Dec 31, 1998. [arhives] - Free text editor alternatives to SPF/PC without REXX support. Since
CTC is not supporting REXX macros you may as well chose free text editor since
you won't have decent macro facilities anyway.
- EditPad Lite, the free version does not support hex or REXX, but does support tabs so you can be editing several different text files at one place.
