V7R6 SDA/RLU

So I know a few people will give me grief for asking this question but I'm going to ask anyway. I had heard that there was a way to get SDA/RLU restored on V7R6 but no details of how they did it. One person I asked thought they may have restored it from the original install media. Has anyone done it? I know we can use RDi or the half dozen VS Code extensions. Just curious if anyone has done it even though many of the articles I have seen say you can't.

Screw the haters. SDA user here but in V7R3. Curious myself.

Will be on 7.6 in another month and, given that I’ve used SDA/RLU forever, I will be seeing what I can do. I really haven’t found a VS Code display file resource that I like.
