Steve This is really great stuff. Thanks for the hard work and thanks for posting it.
I have read your docs and have started testing the app: I can really see that you have poured a great deal of effort in this. We too have been working with Ralis and other frameworks and would love to harness some of that power with Active4D. Thanks for the contribution, I look forward to working with it and sending some feedback.
