RE: RE: Why CODE instead of LPEX?

["Bob cozzi" <cozzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

WDSc will work on a 1/2 gig RAM PC, but what would you want to. It really
does require 1 gig to perform like any other app would on a 128 Meg machine.
1.8 Ghz CPU is a minimum too, I think. But slower machines will be okay if
you have the full gig of ram installed.

Subject: Re: RE: Why CODE instead of LPEX?

I've been using the LPEX editor in WDSc 5 for about a week now and I have to
say I do like it quite a bit (I've always been an SEU guy) and there are
some potential uses that have me drooling that I just haven't gotten to yet.


I haven't noticed too many speed issues after the initial connection to the
400 (in this case a fairly slow 170) is made but I do have a workhorse of a
PC with 2.56GB processor and a gig of RAM.  I was most surprised that the
update speed back to the 400 was tremendous: practically instantaneous, even
on a very large source member.

Navigation is a little quirky and as with any new product there are some
idiosynchracies to get used to, but other than that I think I'm going to
like it a lot.

Just sharing,
Joel
