We have been very pleased with the latest version of SQR for Windows (i.e.
SQR ReportMate v3.5).  It has an integrated editor, SPF file viewer, and
output window. You can edit, run, and view the output quickly and easily
from within one Windows application.  The integrated editor knows about SQR,
so it can highlight keywords, comments, etc.  You can pass a full command
line to the program when you execute it, so you don't loose any of the
flexibility of the command line versions.

The older version for SQR for Windows (v3.0) did not have an integrated
editor and SPF viewer; it was not a good development environment.
