I'm using MaxFrame myself, and as matter of fact I even used it to develop and application that linked with SBT. I haven't used Primatrix or The Mere Mortals one, but I did try FoxExpress. I ended up sticking with MaxFrame for several reasons. The apps seemed to crawl with FoxExpress and it was rather buggy at the time. It's my understanding that the problems I had with FoxExpress have been resolved in the later versions of it however. I still pick MaxFrame because the documentation is EXCELLENT, the support is good, and the 'learning curve' is quite reasonable. Between the example application, the tutorial, the reference manual, and the documentation within the code itself I was able to learn it pretty quickly. MaxFrame has a shareware version at www.maxlink.com - but it's nothing compared to the real one. You can at least sorta get a feel for it though.
