- Sub: More thoughts on TDocument
-
-
- Apple has proposed in Release 7.0 to provide the Database Access Manager
- toolbox. Does TDocument still fit/work in light this new tool box. Will there
- ever really be a TDocument that can/will encompass the CL/1 CLient/server
- model? (What about this BTREE STUFF?)
-
- In the Preliminary Developer Notes (pg 3) they show a graphic ment to explain
- the interface and access. They show 3 distinct applications and one document:
-
- Database [We Do FORMs] (whatever that is supposed to mean)
- Database Capable (ie data queies buried in the Applciation)
- Database Querry Tool (they do querries)
- Querry Document (a real document)
-
- Does this mean that each applciation from above will have its own document type
- and that in addition there will be a querry document type (supported by MacApp
- as TQuerryDoc with all the attendant methods, local fields and such to help us
- build queries?) I think that TDocument stills stands as useful but that we
- have something new here (to MacApp) and it needs to be dealt with either by
- integrating or breaking it out as a seperate concept.
-
- For that matter many System 7.0 concepts will need to be added to the MacApp
- Framework and I would like to encourage Apple to get their 7.0 MacApp ideas out
- to us as soon as possible so we can really give them some good feedback.
