I have yet to try out TurboPTR on the ground of not having enough time to do anything recently. I do intenmd to have a look at it and try it out when I do have some spare (!) time though. I always preferred Turbo to Qlib but Qlib allowed me to use the PE. Now that TurboPTR has arrived, I can hopefully do some work with it. > > Will this produce a flood of ideas? > Time will tell, but I suspect not too many :o) > Incidentally I recently took a course in VB partly to see how similar it was > to TurboPTR and found the latter much more modest though along the same lines > as VB. Some of the VB possibilities have been added to TurboPTR already. Last time I used VB was version 3, but when Delphi came along, I swithched over and never went back. VB is just too clunky with all its different versions of runtime dll files. Of course, now M$ build them into the OS, so everyone has them (as it does with its C runtimes) and then blags about hos much smaller their C and VB programs compile down to that other compilers manage. Another lie ! VB was good in its hey day, at least at V3, but I can't comment on advances since then. Will we be seeing TurboVB in the future :o) Regards, Norman. ------------------------------------- Norman Dunbar Database/Unix administrator Lynx Financial Systems Ltd. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 0113 289 6265 Fax: 0113 289 3146 URL: http://www.Lynx-FS.com ------------------------------------- This email is intended only for the use of the addressees named above and may be confidential or legally privileged.
