Alan, I have used Alpha 5 quite a lot for a colleague who bought it and floundered but didn't want to give it up.
If you like constrained programming and having to fudge the way to develop apps because of the inability to program the way you want to as opposed to the quirky way Alpha 5 works then go ahead. It's a little like using the old Cardbox database crossed with Ashton Tate's Framework II if you remember that far back. Definitely NOT a developer's tool, more a simple to use front end ... and don't get me started about its relational database abilities and the way it handles them, talk about quirky. Cheap, yes... and initially looks appealing, but on closer inspection and using it in the real world for apps development .... forget it.

Well, they've been around since 1997 apparently - presumably they will pick up at least some of the people coming off VFP. That Alpha Five seems interesting, has a more appealing licencing model if nothing else. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/bd031ecabf2b60499200aab3dbb4a99973638...@ex-a-fpl.fpl.LOCAL ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
