RE: Rational V6.0?? vs WDSC V6.0??

The problem is that RAD does NOT have all the features of WDSC.  RAD
does not have, for instance, the Remote Systems Explorer, which is
pretty much the backbone of all iSeries functionality in WDSC.

On the other hand, WDSC standard edition does not have all the features
of RAD.  It is built on RWD, and as such is missing things like full EJB
support and ClearCase integration.

>From a common sense perspective, it would SEEM that installing WDSC
standard edition on top of RAD or vice versa would get you what would in
effect be WDSC advanced edition, but I don't know that for sure.  Common
sense is not always a reasonable guide in these situations.
