So, I went ahead and installed the BDT from the UD clients 7.2A file.
It installs a bunch of eclipse junk; which is fine, I guess. Of course,
when I thought of "updating" (help > software updates > find and
install) that fails miserably to update eclipse so maybe I shouldn't try
that.
Next, of course, I figure I could create a U2 server which would give me
a connection to a UD account. How silly of me to think I could do
something like that. I mean, like right-click the "U2 Servers" entry in
the U2 Resource window, click on "New U2 Server" then enter a name for
the server and a host (I tried both a "hosts" entry and an IP address).
I selected UniData, clicked [Advanced], used the default info regarding
RPC and added the complete path to the account where our BASIC code
resides. Changed the telnet port to the proper port our UD is listening
on, clicked [Finished] then tried to connect. Naturally I entered the
valid Windows User ID and Password but was informed: "The combination of
user name and password provided is incorrect." So, I guess using the
administrators name and password isn't sufficient to work my way through
step one of using this tool. I guess this pretty much explains why
these tools aren't always used.
Naturally, if I was to think about this some more I might suspect using
Windows 2008 R2 may be causing the problem, but who knows?
[grrrrrrrrrrrr]. So, I guess it's back to ignoring this environment and
moving back the environment I have to dance with today. :-(

Bill:
Do I have to load up some "crap" onto my client before I can run BDT?
Does it use UniObjects? Would there be a problem if the timeout
period for the UniRPC daemon was reduced to 5 minutes (this seemed to
cause no end of grief to those using the previous incarnation of the
development tool, which we could never get working properly anyway)?
I have the most recent version of the UD "clients" software (v7.2A)
and didn't see any documentation regarding either installation or use
of the product. Am I missing something or is it just for UV?
Thanks,

Going from a traditional editor (like EditPlus) to BDT is like going
from a propeller-plane to a jet.
Because I had some connectivity problems with UV 10.1, before I could
not get BDT to work. Now with UV 10.3.6, BDT works.
For working code that I have imported into BDT, some lines show up
with warning flags. Undefined variables get highlighted. I can
right-click to compile and catalog.
In the end, code has fewer errors, debugged faster, compiled faster,
accomplished faster.

More please. In what way exactly is that?
