Re: RDp vs RDi

[MichaelQuigley@xxxxxxxxxx]

Rdi 7.1 was unbundled from the compilers, priced separately, and went 
under it's own maintenance.  Like David said, Rational Developer for Power 
Systems Software (sometimes called RDP, RDp, or RDPi) is a no charge 
upgrade unless you want the AIX tooling.

This repackaging of the development tools happened at V6R1 of i5/OS--which 
has since been renamed IBM i 6.1.
