That is potentially a huge amount of work. I wrote an expert system inferencing engine in LC. It is interpreted. The rules language is very simple syntax (essentially a rule is an IF THEN with parsing of the boolean expression syntax for the IF and 2 possible statements for the THEN) and it is still a fair amount of code. What language is the source for the ERP in? I expect the language has a reasonable robust syntax to support and ERP app. Possible a translator to convert the source to xTalk? However, if you really want a self-maintained ERP it might ultimately be easier to write one in LC that convert or interpret a legacy system. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
