RE: Version 6

It's getting really ugly out there.

I just got a call from IBM saying that V6 of WDSC has been withdrawn for
support with V5R1 -- that is, you cannot order V6 if you are at V5R1.
This is directly in contradiction with the requirements page:

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/wds400/sysreq/

I've got a voicemail in with the poor tech support guy whose job it is
to tell us V5R1 slobs, but he's just the messenger.  I'm going to see if
I can't get some information from other folks at IBM.
