Re: Getting started with Code/400 -- CODE400-L

I just attended the Spring Common Conference in New Orleans. And you are
partially correct about SEU, PDM. IBM will not enhance these tools. However
Code400 is the preferred tool and will be the target of IBM's R&D. SEU and
PDM will still be part of OS400.

About the topic of installation of Code400. I have installed it on multiple
NT machines with connection to OS400 V4r5 without any type of problems.
Project Organizer, Code Designer, and Code Editor all work fine. What
version of OS400 are you running?
