Vulcan .Net and VO 2.8
in [Visual Objects]

From: Geoff Schaller on 22 Sep 2006 03:32 We consider a re-write too expensive. And in practical terms, it will never happen. We have 4 major platforms and each has about 200,000 unique lines of code. Most of the functionality is stable so integration with new stuff is my only concern and we are achieving that quite nicely.

From: Geoff Schaller on 22 Sep 2006 03:34 Is that a rhetorical question and if so, are you seeking a rhetorical answer? If not then I guess I don't need to respond.

From: @je on 22 Sep 2006 03:36 Hi Patrick, I sure am enjoying myself here ;-) We are using the last VOPS build we got out of VOPS so it's a bit newer than 2740. > I agree that customers can be disappointed about that, but than it is up > to them to decide if they still like the downgraded package enough to put > down their money for it. I'm not convinced the editor and vss alone will justifiy it for us here we'll see. Cheers, Ed
From: Geoff Schaller on 22 Sep 2006 03:41 Patrick, I don't plan to do much to my legacy code at all. All our new features tend to come with new technology. All I need to do with my VO code is just keep it alive and fix the odd bug here or there. VO 2.8 just doesn't offer anything new that will be important to us. See the other thread.
