This is for version 7.1 GA, Pete.  Install RBD first into a new "package 
group".  This will allow you to install without disturbing your other 
installation.  Next, install RDi into the newly created RBD package 
group.  You then get a common workbench with all the goodies of RDi SOA 
in it.

I don't know.  That's the hard part of this somewhat artificial 
segregation of EGL.  RDi doesn't belong in EGL for sure.  RBD does.  But 
RDi SOA?  Where does it belong?  I think it has more to do with the 
topic - if it's an RDi question specific to RPG programming, for 
example, it probably belongs in RPG.  If it's an RDi SOA topic specific 
to EGL, then it belongs in EGL.  But say it's a general question about 
installing a 5250 emulator in RDi - that would belong here.

Since I'm talking about installation of Rational tools in general, I 
think it's a general Midrange topic.
