Hey Dude,
Life is change.
I have to confess, one of the reasons I haven't been as attentive to the
List lately (and why I missed that New York Trade Show) is because I'm
buried deep in a new project with our company and a Major International
Accounting Firm. Although the web-development portion o
When talking to the uninitiated I usually describe what I am using long
before I state its name. I use terms such as rapid application development
environment, XML, J2EE-compliant (soon), develop/deploy on any platform,
etc, etc. I also state that it is one of the many solutions out there with

Thanks Scott
Excellent page.
I didn't realize I was opening up Pandora's box with this thread. I
can see everyone's point fairly clearly. But the brunt of the
situation with myself and my company is the fact that... yes we have
lost jobs over the type of development used. And yes, I had a majo
Due to its domination of the marketplace, I usually tell people that

money because
development time is cut drastically. I've never had anyone balk at
that.

Actually, we've had problems with this phenomenon here. A new project

ColdFusion or ASP.net because of Witango's "declining market share",
unstable ownership history, "lack of resources", etc., but who does have

Hi List,
Installed T2k on Win 2000 box already running Witango.
Changed app mappings.
No life from T2k, got "Client Error: an unusual exception occurred while processing
the request" (What a sense of humour!)
Uninstalled T2k, Uninstalled Witango. Attempted to reinstall T2k SP1. Got error:

Hiya Rich. I just went through this myself, except with a delimited

You will need to fool the browser into believing that the document being
sent to it (PDF in your case) is of a mime type which it can't handle. I
don't think you can do it (easily) if the PDF is served directly from the

Two excellent points!
I remember getting into a discussion with a co-worker about 'technology'. He
was concerned about what was then the Tango product and it's lack of
exposure. My stand was that most clients don't care what the technology is
that delivers their solutions but they have been traine

This is quite a can of worms you guys just opened. I think the issue for
everybody boils down to: what long-term chances does Witango has in the
marketplace. If we look at Apple as an example of a company with great
products and a stagnant (declining) market share, the Witango team should

Until Witango can get an appreciable market share, I will use
"buzzwords" as best I can to land the client. Unfortunately, I get
too many blank stares when I even mention the product. I have clients

I agree with John but I say to customers I use and XML generating engine
call WiTango which writes its code in XML. This seems to give them a
buzzword they understand as well as a new word they have trouble saying to
chew on latter.

Dude,
I believe the term they're all throwing around is "XML Execution Engine"
Personally I think the term sucks. "ASCII Execution Engine" would be
just as descriptive. These types of deceptive tactics will only slow
the growth and popularity of Witango. People need to know what we're
