Re: Report Writer Tools IQ and FOURGEN

Quoting microc!eric@uunet.uu.net... } } Well Dave, I don't think you can even compare FourGen-Screen with } your db4glgen! You can do great things with 4gen like combining } more than one table in a form, header/detail screens, zoom screens, } maintain a data dictionary, great help system, a navigation feature, } choose only the fields you want, and other things that db4glgen can } not do. } Because I have not used 4gen products for the last 2 years, I did not know something. A gentleman from 4gen has informed me that the second generation of their tools are superior products. Please keep in mind that db4glgen was first written in Jan/Feb of 1990. At that time the 4gen software was rather poor and db4glgen did things that the 4gen software didn't. } But I like your product for simple data-entry forms that don't } require any fancy stuff, zoom screens or a 2nd table lookup, even } tough it requieres a new fglgo... } Thank you, when I first wrote db4glgen, I didn't have access to 4GL-Rapid (hence the C functions). When I did eventually get "Rapid" access, rather than a re-write, I chose to build a new fglgo. DAS -- David A.
