It doesn't but Jack said, "iSeries Navigator or WDSC".

Jack,

IBM supports Vista with the latest service pack for iSeries Access v5r4.

Joe, there is no question that the design intent was to make a much 
better product but the implementation plan has left much to be 
desired. I have not open the new onion - v7. Plan on doing that after 
the 16th of March when the hard copy is supposed to be ready for 
distribution. Any one want to make bet on the March Madness (Happening 
in April) or whether the WDSC team will make a clean release. I have been 
collecting the messages

about WDSC from the MidRange lists for the last two years and it really reads 
like a Mac Sinnott movie
from the 20's.

I also have bitten the bullet with Vista and I can forget about having 
an iSeries Navigator or WDSC in that environment for some time. I believe the 
IBM current speak is

that they are not supporting Vista.

Hard to believe isn't it. 
I guess that old joke that IBM stands for "I Built Microsoft" is true 
because with no support for Vista they are obviously going to lose 
more market share and that gets right into your and my pocket book.

Have a nice day and Don't Forget to Celebrate the Irish on the 17th, Jack 
Derham Direct Systems,

Inc.

3-Cheers to Mr. Bob for speaking the truth - quick,dirty and with 
iSeries Access let's you do most of the stuff needed to generate a 
business application. Admittedly it is not in vogue but maybe that's 
because the youngsters don't know how to smoothly operate it or 
maybe the R&T boys of IBM are trying to be our "Big Uncle.

UPDDTA lets you do most of what you need to do in a business application.
The point is whether the tool is better, and hands down, WDSC is 
better than SEU and PDM.  From syntax highlighting to content assist 
to outline view to multi-library searches, the capabilities of WDSC 
make SEU look -- well, look like the 20-something software it is.  Wonderful 
for its time, but

somewhat outmoded.

The misreading of the market by the people at IBM in no way diminishes the 
superiority of the tool.
In my mind, there are very few people at IBM who understand the 
iSeries community and the fact that we are innovators, given the 
proper tools.  Unfortunately, suggesting that SEU is a reasonable 
alternative to WDSC helps the iSeries-challenged majority pigeonhole the 
iSeries community as a

bunch of technological Luddites.

Joe
