RE: *CURRENT library? was RE: (no subject) -- CODE400-L

Vern, whether you use STRCODE or the autostart servers for CODE tools, you
still require
a unique curlib. This is not a bug, it is a design point. It may be a
design flaw, but is working
as designed. I won't comment on how it came to be designed this way :-). We
did hope the
lifting of the 25 library limit in the library list would help with the
resistance to this requirement,
but it is clear to us it has not.

The "new communications in WDSC 4.0" that Hak refers to is the Remote
System Explorer
(RSE) perspective in the IDE. This will eventually replace the classic CODE
tools, and it is based
on an entirely new communication layer that has not inherited the design
requiring a unique
curlib per user.  So, to the extent you only use the new IDE and its
built-in editor, you do not need
a dedicated current library. However, if you launch a CODE tool from the
RSE, such as the CODE
Editor, then you are using the old comm layer with the same restrictions.
We need to provide you
is a rich enough environment in this new world that you no longer feel
compelled to launch the
CODE tools... we are not there yet. The next release will move that ball
foreward a considerable
degree.

So, Hak, if I don't use STRCODE, there is not a requirement for different
CURLIBs? If I use only the autostart servers and use the CODE editor, do I
have to have a unique CURLIB or not?

One reason for using STRCODE is to get F4 prompting for CL. When will that
get into RSE? Or will it?

Thanks

Vern
