Re: Calling "Format" command from Remote Systems view or i Project

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your email. I greatly appreciate that you will bring back the 
i Projects Navigator. I already noticed that in the last update. In fact I 
still use 9.8 because of the missing view.

I think I will add an Idea, tomorrow. The reason for my question is that I 
develop a formatter plug-in for dcl-* Statements, because I am not happy 
with the output of Linoma's RPG-Toolbox utility. The plug-in already 
executes the IBM formatter before running its own formatter, if started 
from the Lpex view. It would be great if I could include the IBM formatter 
outside the view as well.

Regards,

Thomas.
