RE: RE: Anyone not using WDSC for RPG development

I support the idea of a lite client or a less monolithic approach.  It
would be nice to choose which portions you would like to load.  All I do
is edit RPG code.   I'd use it for CL if it were more friendly.  There
are times that I just start CODE because it gets going faster and does
about the same thing.
