Just wondering - when there will be the next great release
of CLAW with new exiting features?
We have generic version of CLAW (r.1.2) and paid additionally
for one year maintenance hoping to have the next release of
the enhanced CLAW with bug fixes and new features
before the end of the year.
I hoped that we would have something additional for
that additional money.
Generally I have very high opinion of CLAW though I think there
are areas where it could be improved.
RR Software has my suggestions which I sent to Randall Brukardt
at the beginning of this year.
Generally they included suggestions to add more components to it including
additional functionality regarding communications in addition to sockets
( including overlapped serial async communications package, mailslots,
pipes, memory mapped files ) , thick ODBC bindings and may be some
other things.
Idea was to make it more close to Delphi in functionality and to have
something more or less close to TAO regarding communications.
My opinion is that CLAW could be a very good foundation for
Windows Ada framework that is much more than a class library
and GUI builder for just building Ada Windows GUIs.
What's interesting some time ago Sun introduced new standard Java class
library for doing serial communications. So this is indicator that
professional
serial communication package is a MUST for any serious development
environment.
Having TCP/IP, Serial Communications and ODBC allows quickly build any kind
of proxies between equipment and (remote) control applications.
In addition to that named pipes and mailslots is effective way for
communications
between different applications and threads that may reside on different NT
machines.
In this respect Java didn't went that far. It uses anonymous pipes that
primary use
is to provide communications between different application threads.
If CLAW had all that it would be invaluable.
