RE: CODE and WDSc

Thank you Jon for straightening me out - you're more "in the know" than
I am and I appreciate the info.

Does this mean that CODE as we know it today will no longer be enhanced
by IBM in lieu of the Eclipse plug-in?  If so, I agree with you on
making CODE open-source.

 >> Code is now a "plug-in" in the new release 5.0 of WDSc just released
which is now based on Eclipse 2.0.

This is sorta-kinda true.  It should read "just announced" - it has not
been
released.  The _replacement_ for CODE (i.e. the new Java based lpex with
iSeries extensions) is now shipped as a plug in for the Eclipse based
workbench in V5 (Eclipse 2).  It has verifier capabilities and a few
more
CODE features.  It was also shipped in WDSc V4 (the current release) but
had
very little function.

However - in both the current V4 release _and_ the upcoming V5 the
original
CODE is still shipped and will continue to be until they get all the
function in lpex.  There are many of us who would like them to either
keep
shipping CODE or open-source it since the footprint required by WDSc is
huge
(unless you're planning on buying a new machine).  Minimum recommended
512Mb, 1.6Gb of disk and a high end PIII or better - and that is the
_minimum_ spec!
