This fair has truely been web based :) ... But well ... this is just my world and where i move. Of course the normal Client-Server improvements should not be left out. Some improvements have been shown (dynamic labels as an example) and i guess there is much more to explore which i actually didnt catch. Personally it would please me to see Compuware open the more technical stuff where a developer finally can take advance of. It's not my aim to propagate GIVE-US-MORE-INTERFACES-TO-OTHER-PRODUCTS. Surely this could be nice but what about the key features and main-goal of Uniface!? I want it to stay as the BACKEND that i can rely on! More features to modify data, handling internals and LESS 3GL-SOLUTIONS is what i'm talking about. So far from me- more opinions please! cheers -GHAN-

It would be nice to get more c/s stuff as well. Most new project are on the web but there still is a lot of c/s applications that need to be maintained and improved. I just played with the new deployment options and that is really good stuff for c/s as well. And already available in Uniface 9.3 !

a small correction on the interfaces stuff, G?nther. As all of us know, there is a big difference between the different IDF editors and the "best of breed" editors on the market; this is natural because UNIFACE is not a code editor in the first place. What I am shooting for is that IDF provides a single(!) adapter where one can plugin the editor he feels most productive with. Take eclipse, firefox, web 2.0; the world is full of applications supporting plug-ins so they can meet users expectations. I agree with you 100% that in the kernel area, CPWR has to be the one providing better and more reliable processing. But: one of the best things even in the old Uniface is the 3GL interface which gives you a chance to add all kinds of data processing YOU need to the 4GL features. Uli Merkel
