RE: CODE and WDSc

["Bryan Yates" <byates@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Booth, I'm running on a thinkpad t20 700mhz pIII with 256mb of ram and I only 
have occasional paging problems.  I'm wating on a memory upgrade to arrive and 
that will put most of my issues to bed.  Of course, I am not running the WAS 
test environment since I have a nice 820 box set up for a development 
environment.

Jon, what is the actual horsepower needed to run Eclipse?  



I am still astounded that  programming shop managers think that 512 RAM is
too expensive.  I just bought a 512 stick last week for $39 (after a $20
rebate).  How can a shop give free coffee and then complain that $39 is too
much money?

>> Does this mean that CODE as we know it today will no longer be enhanced

by IBM in lieu of the Eclipse plug-in? If so, I agree with you on making

CODE open-source.



That's the idea I'm afraid. The comms infrastructure and install problems

of CODE has been killing them for years - this is their way out of some very

nasty code. An open-source group would fix it in no time but .... it will

never happen I fear. Pity though because I think 95% of all RPG developers

will be locked out of the new stuff by the hardware requirements. Many of

the shops I work with can only just about load CODE let alone WDSc.
