Tony, I was talking about the limits of Uniobjects, not Windows, but now that it comes up. Windows is limiting BY DESIGN. Over the years MS has limited interoperability, corrupted standards, and generally tried to create the impression that Windows is the only OS in the world. And people buy it. Even IT people. Now I shouldn't complain. Supporting Windows has been a goldmine for IT people. Windows provides an endless stream of problems for people to pay us to fix. Bill Gates is a business genius. He took DOS and created an industry. That doesn't change the fact that Windows is a bloated version of DOS which was not networkable, not multiprocessing, and not re-entrant as opposed to most other OSes which were designed to be networked and multiprocessing from the bottom up. VS is a great IDE. I wish it would run on other platforms. And Windows is my second favorite OS. Everything else ties for first. Gotta go. I need to finish up this Windows app. Charles Shaffer Senior Analyst NTN-Bower Corporation ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
