It sounds like you thought that Dabo was supposed to be syntactically the same as VFP, but that was never the goal at all. Instead, Dabo gathers the various tools available in Python and makes them work together to give you an environment that is similar to what VFP provided: UI designer, fast database access, local cursors, reporting, > And I am a bit > worried by the 3-tier design, which might just increase workload of > coding Dabo and stir debates among developers! :) It is taken directly from Codebook, which I helped write many years ago, and which was the basis for several of the major VFP frameworks, such as VFE or Oak Leaf. I don't think it is all that controversial. ;-) Besides, you can create single-tier apps in Dabo if you want; it just will make them harder to expand and maintain. -- Ed Leafe _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
