RE: Anyone not using WDSC for RPG development

Mark,

It amazes me that companies wont stump up £25 to upgrade a few PCs to 1GB of
memory. That's less than most computer reference books out there

This does seem to be the biggest roadblock. You need a pretty powerful
workstation to run this tool. Allot of companies cannot afford to supply
their development staff with new PCs every time the IDE gets more and more
bloated. Especially with the bloat of Windows OS, MS Office, Lotus Notes and
any other programs that developers may run in an iSeries shop.

It does seem a bit funny that IBM keeps pushing Java and Linux down peoples
throat, but won't port their main development tool to Linux.

Thanks,

Mark

We are still using green screen here.
we are 6 iseries programmers
only me tried WDSC, but with an old release, and not enogh memory (256Mo)

The reasons are :
    no time (now) to learn a new tool because we have a lot of work now.
    another new tool to deal with now (not a seu like)
    and waiting for the lastest release of WDSC ordered at IBM.

we are planning to use it in the next months.
