Re: IBM is so confusing!

Bryce,
You are probably right. I am saying that the reason that WDSC(etc) is not
more widely used is because of the way it was introduced. Those things you
are referring to, were not there originally. Consequently, most programmers
looked at it and did not like it. Some never tried again. I use V7, and like
it but it took a while to get there.

RDP ----- Screen Design Check! Report Designer Check!
Debug??? Hello?! SEP ... I'll say it again... SEP!!!!! I haven't
debugged in a green screen debugger since discovering Service Entry Points
(SEP). It is hands down the best debugger on the system. And SEP's are
there in WDSC 7 too. Oh yea, and you can use CODE designer which ships
with WDSC 7 to do screens. Your last email is mute.

I disagree. I think it is because it is not as good as SEU. It is a
wonderful tool, but they(IBM) went 90% of the way again. Without screen
design, report design, and debug done easily, why would people want to use
it. You still have to use both.

"The market overwhelmingly prefers SEU."

And is that because getting/installing/learning/using WDSCi RDP itself is
so confusing?

FWIW - once I got my account in the license center it only took me 5
minutes to get and install the license key - so why did Rational think I
needed a 27 page document justto do that?
