Re: WDSCI-L Digest, Vol 5, Issue 174

Booth,

You are correct about enhancements (which is why IBM stopped making
them), however what about fixes, OS upgrades, etc?  You have to put
engineering time into making sure that it continues to work *if* you
continue to support it.  Once that support is dropped the company frees
up those resources for other things.

The King (SEU/PDM) is dead. Long live the King (WDSc)!

It is unclear what enhancements are wanted for the green screen tooling?

  It works, its static.

Why put more engineering time into improving the hand shovel?  The R&D
is done and has been done for 100+ years.  Yet The #2 shovel sells by
the hundreds every day and no complains about the need for them.

              Hey Guys,

I agree with Adam that even though I'm an avid user of WDSCi there is 
always a need for a quick fix in SEU. With that being said I see why 
IBM is trying to phase out the other tools, its all about resources. 
Its hard to keep developers on staff that work on tools that arent 
part of the companies direction. The S36 is the other prime example of

this, keeping a S36 compiler specialist on staff cant be easy:)
