Re: Advice needed for getting started

Terri,

if your pc only meets the minimum requirements, I'd suggest you try CODE 
first.  It's a very good alternative to SEU, and runs on a much lower spec 
machine.

You will need the CD's/DVD, though, there is no download available that I 
know of.

And you should definitely go to 5.1.2.4, it's quicker than the previous 
versions.

Also, you can decide to only install CODE and VisualAgeRPG, which was not 
the case in previous releases.

Hi,
      After reading the RSE article in Spotlight magazine, I decided to
make the time to check out what all the fuss is about.  I knew we had
WebSphere development studio client for iSeries, V4.0.0, but I had not
really gone into it much.  When I tried following along with the magazine
article, some of the things didn't match up quite right, so I started 
doing
some poking around. I found a web site with downloads for V5.0 advanced
edition & standard edition and version 5.1 advanced edition & standard
edition. I checked out the specs on my PC. I have a P4, 400 Mhz, 572 MB of
memory and 40GB of hard drive. I have Windows 200 Pro, SP4 & Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6.0.  Our iSeries is at 5.2.
      My questions are:
            Can I download the updates or do I need to find the CD's?
            Since I meet the minimums but not the suggested, do I get 5.0
or 5.1?
            Is the update only for my PC or is there something that needs
to happen on the iSeries also?

I am not looking at doing any web work at this point. I would just like to
move away from SEU.  It sounds like RSE is the best thing since sliced
bread, and I would like to try it out.  Thanks!
