I would buy the memory myself. You could purchase job sanity for $50 to
$100. Should you have to purchase your own memory, no, but should you try
to use WDSC without sufficient memory, NO! :-)
The fact of the matter is that some people are just plain old more
productive in SEU. It is hard to compare productivity in WDSC because it
isn't fast as far as typing in code, it's "fast" because you don't have to
scroll as much, you have excellent find/replace, you can easily find all
instances of a variable, etc.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Fed up with green screen plodders
Hi
As the only person in the team using WDSc ( V5 ! ), I was recently summoned
to transfer all I knew to everyone else.
After a couple of months ar one 2 hour session a week, I thought everyone
would move from PDM to WDSc. I was thinking, Great then we'll get V7, cos
being alone I had no chance.
Months later :
They're all still in front of their green screens!
I've got V6.0 but not enough memory to use it. The others have V6.2 and the
memory!
So I'm still on V5. Can't open a DDS member. Debugging, no point. Code 400
and Code designor don't work. But as for the rest, I would never go back to
PDM.
Just got a memo asking for ideas on how to be more productive and efficient
! Felt like screaming.
Now, what do you think? Would I be right in saying that we should be a
obliged to use WDSc ? Given that we have invested the time to install it and
are trained to use it?
I can't imagine any production line continuing to use outdated machinery
while the latest model lies idle gathering dust in some corner of the
factory floor. Or is that too simple an analogy?
