I4GL-RDS RunTime has the software necessary to take a piece of I4GL p-code compiled on MachineA and run it on MachineB. It includes the p-code runner, and the libraries and script to build a custom version of the p-code runner. It does not include the fglpc compiler; it also omits the r4gl programmer's environment, upscol, form4gl, etc. I4GL-ID (the interactive debugger) is a separate product which cannot be used meaningfully without having the I4GL-RDS development system. I suspect that you could install it on the runtime system and use it, but you would not be able to do anything about any changes that were necessary as a result of using the debugger because you'd have no compiler.
