The new nomenclature will kill us all yet.  IBM is re-branding all of their
software WebSphere somethingOrOther.  Except for Tivoli and Lotus.  So, you
don't need to buy WebSphere Application Server, you need WebSphere
Development Studio, soon to be renamed WebSphere Development Studio client.
In one package you get all the iSeries compilers, SEU, PDM, Code/400, VARPG,
VAJAVA and lord knows what else.  IF you owned any of the previous products
you are entitled to a license for the new, 'all in one' product.
