You have to play around with the Window environment to meet your needs, but once done, it is fine. One environment that I have seen demonstrate and impressed me was (I believe AETech's). A colleague of mind used both Meridian and Alsys together in a project and preferred to use Meridian's ACE to develop the code, but perferred Alsys code generation for the final product. I'd like to hear the opinion of others. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | John (Jack) Beidler | | Prof. of Computer Science Internet: BEIDLER@JAGUAR.UOFS.EDU | | University of Scranton beidler@guinness.cs.uofs.edu| | Scranton, PA 18510 Bitnet : BEIDLER@SCRANTON | | | | Phone: (717) 941-7446 FAX: (717) 941-4250 | +------------------------------------------------------------------+
