Re: RDi vs SEU

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brad, a client bought RDi for my use.  I use it on his machine, and 4 
other machines that are not in any way interrelated.  These boxes are 
V5R4 to Vnewest.

One of the things I really like is that I can develop a project on one 
box and then easily copy over to another, all in the same seamless work 
session.

And yes, copy/append & paste/next are great but with RDi you get 
copy/all and paste/replace. Much nicer.
