Re: RDI updates

When I first installed DS after RDi, it seemed to have messed up my help 
text settings - it's as if DS took over.

So I took it off and won't reinstall anytime soon, I don't think.

I have tried the Data Development perspective, and it seems adequate for 
some stuff, like displaying table data and even modifying it.

I don't think any of these tools recognize logical files as indexes - I 
think the "explorer" in Data Development perspective sees them as views, 
no index.

And I don't think DS is much better in that regard.

I'll mostly stick with the support in Navigator.

Until something better comes along. Toad and Squirrel must won't cut it, 
either, as they really know nothing about IBM i.

Cheers
Vern

I would think that IM should see everything that IM can manage, regardless of the order products are installed, or am I thinking too much?
