Re: New Era

I also liked New Era, even though it needs a good shot of raid to kill some pretty large bugs. I didn't think the class libraries were all that terrific, but the on-line docs were really super. I also thought the whole product was more intuitive than Powerbuilder, but I'm not really a PB expert. All in all, I think NE is a definate contender once it matures (ages?) a bit. Alan N.
