Does that mean 26 bugs corrected after 2740? Well I have yet to meet anyone who fixes exactly 1 bug per build (either they count every time they compile as a build and take many builds per bug or label significant points as builds and fix many bugs per build)

Even if your statement is correct, in your place I would not make fun of others but - your statement is much wrong with Vulcan we belonging together to all .NET languages side by side, possibly mixed. at this point I drop out of thist thread Regards, Markus Feser

Expensive? Please confirm with Brian how much 2.8 cost. Otherwise, I have no idea how cheap it will be Rene PS: "Not healthy mind because I choose to get stuck with VO" -- sorry Mullet, I am insane Ayon kay Carlos Rocha: > > ...

From: richard.townsendrose on 13 Sep 2006 11:56 Hi all Well I guess that VO2.8 is approaching the "pretty well fixed everything" time like dbaseIII+Ver 1.1 and Clipper 5.0a did in their time. Then it becomes just a tool with another 10 years of life to go. May be I will retire when it does ! It does all I need - and more. But I await it, and look forward to it. Regards Richard

Hi Markus, Mullet and Graham is always "right". We are all here programmers who are unhealthy mind. Why the hell am I doing accumulating 600,000+ lines of VO code when I can do that easier with C#, and earn money along the way... Soon, I port my VO to .Net (be it in Vulcan or C#); who cares, I have unhealthy mind. I am not hobbyist. My VO coded accounting system put my son to school and pay my house mortgage. I am maybe out of my mind.... Rene Ayon kay Markus Feser: > > "he left VO years ago" > > > > A good indication that he has a very healthy mind. > > > > Get a reality check.
