RE: Top Ten reasons to upgrade to V5R2 Code400

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would stay with V5R1 for awhile. The functional changes to CODE alone are 
relatively insignificant. And you have no choice about what is installed - 
it's all or nothing, so you also need more disk space. We have a person 
running WDT 5 on a W98 machine - only a few problems with CODE Designer 
crapping out.

Having said that, there are apparently some improvements in the 
communication area, although you've probably seen a number of us reporting 
difficulties still.

If you do go to WDSC 4, you do not need to start with the full eclipse 
environment - you can still use CODEPROJ, CODEEDIT, CODEBRWS, and CODEDSU 
as is, and your memory requirements will actually be less - still takes a 
lot of disk space for the parts you're not using.

But get the latest service pack for whatever you use.

JMHO
