My opinion to this is that the only advantage you have from using Newera is that the language is the same and the programmers know it well. But this can be a disadvantage, too, because they then don't use the very much better newera-replacements like new datatypes etc. And if you want to develop on a windows platform, there are so many disadvantages newera has against other development tools, that you should better use another tool. We moved one application from i4gl to newera and will never develop an application again with it. -- MfG, T.
