Re: Fed up with green screen plodders

I personally don't see WDSc/Rational replacing the green screen until it
fully supports interactivity. The way it's done now bites. I do most of
my coding in Rational, but compiling and other interactive stuff on the
green screen. But that's just my opinion. =)

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I can't imagine any production line continuing to use outdated machinery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?
