Hi Dwight,
I'm curious where your getting your information from? This is
the first I heard about PDM, SDA, etc. going away! Is this something you've
heard or is it fact? Just wondering.
Thanks
Chris

Get used to the whole code package. I've played with
project, and designer
too. I find a few drawbacks, but
it does have a lot of nice features too.
The biggest thing nobody seems to be aware of is IBM plans to
ditch SEU SDA
PDM with v5.1. They are also working on
eliminating DDS.
Our world will be changing drastically, and the more we work
with that stuff
the less shocking it will be.

works like anyone who uses Windoze would expect. More OS/2ish.

really, really want Code/400 to work so I can get off of SEU.
