You'll like RealBasic. (I do!)

As for their cross-platform capability, it's as close to being done right as I've seen. Foxpro's x-plat was kludged. Java did it by under-implementing U/I on EVERY platform. <g>

ONE of the many things I like about RB is that there's no reliance on an external runtime. Each exe is self-contained. They also have their own internal database engine, which as we all know is all-important. It's certainly no VFP, but it *is* there.

It's a pretty cool little product.


>Last I checked, Java is used a whole bunch (not that I'm a Java fan or anything). So what's your take . . . don't try crossplatform because it has failed (in some people's opinions, at least) in the past? VFP used to be crossplatform and many of those who programmed that way were not happy to see it dropped. I'm not using RealBasic, yet, but one of our users group members has been working with it and likes it. I was just mentioning some possibilities, that's all . . .
