>I did some ARev too. While it was powerful, but was sooooooo slllllloooooowwwwwww. We had a personnel system that was developed by our payroll processing company.

True, that was a serious problem. Open Insight made ARev seem very fast! :-(
However, with today's GHz class machines running GB of memory ARev in the DOS mode would run circles around ANY GUI based app running today. I never have tried Ominis, from RainingData, so I don't know how it would compare with Open Insight, but I'd suspect it would be orders of magnitude faster. Anyway, on today's machines ARev, or Ominis I imagnine, would be fast enough for about anyone business.

>>You are absolutely right, I haven't used ANYTHING since that comes close to the power of Arev. The multivalue field alone is worth 10 of any other product. Other than the app I worked on, plus some I did for my own personal use, the only other time I've seen ARev in the field is an application for collection agencies. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line I lost my copy of the program (maybe when I switched to a computer with no more 5 1/4" floppy drive...), and just last week while cleaning up in the basement I tossed my copy of the User's Guide. Finding that in a box of other stuff inspired me to check out the web site - amazing to find the company still in business. I too totally lost touch when Open Insight appeared, by that time I was working on some heavy FoxPlus/Mac and Foxpro 1.x stuff.
