David,
I'm not sure what the current procedure is since RDi came out, but before that I just called our business partner to get me copies of WDSc. Version 5 did come automatically when I ordered the upgrade from V4R4 to V5R1, but (my memory may be failing me here) I don't think it came with the new 520 when that came in. As far as version 7 goes, I do recall that I had to order it through our BP.
As regards Code Designer, I'm surprised. I've been using it since I got version 5. I have a couple of minor issues with it, but never a show stopper. I still use STRSDA for panels, but I rely on Code Designer for PRTF's.
Joe can speak better to the EGL stuff, but I think they stopped distributing it as part of WDSc when version 7 came out.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] WDSc Version
Hi,
I have to say I'm a bit confused.
I'm working on WDSc version 6.0.0.1.
We have OS V5R4.
Do I have the version of WDSc that was distributed with V5R4 ?
I understand RDi will replace the version 7. I don't want to download the trial version, because I don't think my company will pay for it afterwards (Sadly 99% of our developers have stuck with PDM/SEU).
If I managed to get version 7, I'm wondering for how long it'll work. On my version 6, I have problems with DDS, code designor doesn't start. Worse still, I'm trying to get started with EGL and getting a lot of errors when I start the server. The updates for V6 don't seem to be available anymore.
