Jos,

I have previously skipped Windev mostly because of the tilted distribution of french vs. english speaking developers:
not only on the chances of getting usergroup help but also on the chances of getting contracts to fix existing SW.

Also I find the style of PC-Soft marketing more of a turn down than drawing me to test the product ;-)

But the ability to compile into different runtimes is something interesting, esp. coupled with a client side database and replication.
As replication can be somewhat thorny ;-)))
Can you tell me a bit more about update conflict managment in Windev/Webdev compared to vfp view/CA handling
if one utilizes their Hyperfile as local cache ? And your take on their replication implemention welcome.

As their system is a meshup of language and application fwk, how difficult is it to implement personal ways to handle
data / caching ? Often a fwk eases only a certain way of app structure and automates almost everything, while going
a different path is very difficult. In vfp fwks some were more difficult to handle when trying to implement a different base workflow.

How easy is it to alter something like that in Windev ?

>John, I have found that the next version of WinDev Mobile 17 will support producing iPhone / iPad applications. You program in the normal WinDev language and then it converts it to iOS compatible code which you compile for the iPhone platform. The English brochure is not out yet but the French language brochure can be read here: http://www.pcsoft.fr/annonce17/ebook/index.html

>Also, should mention, that a WinDev programmed application can be compiled to a 32/64 bit Windows app, a Linux app, can be compiled as a Windows service or Linux daemon, and also as a Java application distributable via a browser, a web service, a .Net app, a .Net assembly. So one language, multiple platforms. (NB: I have not tried all these myself, just looking through their documentation and the compile menu options.)
