There have been some changes in the SAL language from version 2.0 to version 2.5 which are reflected in my update. If you have TSE 2.0 then do not get my update. If you have 2.5, then please do, since not all the old macros will continue to work without the changes. Furthermore, I made the following changes 1) Rewrote and renamed SWICTH.S to SWAP.S "SWAP.S Swap order of text, words/chars" 2) Added "Run TurboPower Software Structure Analyst on the current file" to "PROGS.S Run programs on the editor text".
