RE: ptf download confusion

From: Joe Pluta

Very scary. In fact, I don't know if it was scarier that Larry had all of
the OS software and PTFs and could install everything from his laptop, or
that earlier in the day I was able to get TCP/IP running on that same
machine without any PTFs applied at all <grin>.

As an aside, any claims as to a lack of robustness in WDSC are completely
exaggerated. WDSC ran perfectly without a single PTF applied; I was able to
edit, compile and even debug through WDSC all day without a hitch. Other
software was not quite so forgiving.

I had only one problem: the search capability uses FNDSTRPDM under the
covers, and as it turns out FNDSTRPDM gets VERY testy if you don't have
license keys applied properly. Other than that, WDSC was rock solid and
worked without a hiccup all day.
