My apps have to run "exactly" in the same way under *nix, Win and OS X ( even using same number of rows and cols ), so for me gtwvt=gtxwc=gttrm. CUI ( sadly not much appreciated today ) has the plus to work everywhere. Using gttrm/gtxwc I have users that enters orders with IPAQ, eeepc, notebooks and every possible desktop with many *nix and many Win*s versions. And when you need nice UI for BI, video, CRM and so on html, ajax and web standards are much easier than gdi, gtk and so on. So I don't see much room today for desktop apps with mixed CUI/GUI or even with a full GUI. Understand me I would pay for a lib that would not require a full rewrite of a CUI app, but if much of the code have to be rewritten many other things comes in ( dbf -> sql, developers availability, costs ) so at last it's easier to hire some Java developers and rewrite everything from scratch ( if you have customers that will pay it ). For this I think that MT is necessary asap. MT is almost useless used directly in business apps but it's necessary to create RPC apps that responds to an off-process GUI frontend. best regards, Lorenzo _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
