This is where it gets a little confusing. EGL is not part of RDi. EGL is only part of RDi-SOA, which is actually RDi plus the new standalone RBD offering.

I certainly don't want to be seen as putting words into Joe's mouth, but I think I can help clarify. All the names have changed. We're currently accustomed to thinking of

Green GUI
ADTS WDSCi

ADTS is all the green screen stuff, SEU, PDM, compilers; everything that works off a 5250 command line. WDSCi is all the stuff that gets loaded on your PC, RSE, Lpex, EGL; everything that runs off your PC.

In i5/OS V6R1, almost every function comes in a separate package with a new name. RDi isn't WDSCi with a new name tag. Rational looked at what was in WDSCi and some of it went into RDi and some of it did not. EGL went into a different product, RDi-SOA.

I personally used to say 'WDSCi' as shorthand for 'stuff that runs on the PC.' Can't do that with RDi, because you can order other stuff from Rational for System i developers that runs on the PC.
