WDSc Survivor
Five Brave RPG Programmers Move from PDM/SEU to WDSc

Merry Christmas
It's the season for gifts, and they were delivered a little while ago. We have been using WDSC now for a couple of weeks on 19 inch flat panels, and it makes an amazing difference! I have had to lash up a custom mounting for it, to lower the display closer to the desk, so that my bifocals don't make me crane my neck to view the screen, but once adjusted it is great. The new screens are much brighter, and the text is larger, making it quicker and easier to use. (You young guys laugh all you want, but by the end of the day it is noticable!)
I have also customized the colors in the RPG editor; and combined with the brighter screen I now can fine tune how the different specifications show up. By changing comments to a lighter color than standard code, it is now VERY obvious if any code has been "commented" out, instead of deleted. (Please, no comments on commenting out code - it's there and we live with it, but we try not to spread it any further.)
The other reason this will be a "merry" Xmas is the people we have been working with. We have been corresponding with the WDSC developers for a while now, reporting bugs and requesting enhancements; and their attitude is great. I wish all the vendors I deal with had the same empathy and customer service orientation. As grumpy as I have been about the product, they always come back with helpful suggestions, fixes, or enhancements. Great job guys - keep up the good work.
I hope everyone out there reading this has an enjoyable holiday season, and makes a New Year's resolution to give these tools a try.
