Unable to find anything on Google, is anyone aware of AB's intentions with RSView32? Is it to be replaced by SE? Timeframe for replacement?
Or will the two run side-by-side in perpetuity.

Not trying to start a rumour here, genuine question!

Kind of like PLC-2/3/5, and SLC...they are trying to kill it and push people to buy SE. However, AB has a tendency (and not a bad one) to support products virtually forever. You can probably still by AI (old PLC-5 programming software) as far as I know. It won't support a lot of the newer features but you can probably still get it.
