- I'm new to C++ but have been develping software for years. I wish to
- build a complex highly integrated Sales Order Processing application. At
- this point I estimate I will have 60-70 programs ranging from data entry,
- inquiry and reports. The programs will have logical boundries but may
- overlap to a degree. Example the Sales Order Entry screen might call the
- customer master inquiry etc.
-
- My question is - Is it a better design to write one huge program with
- many classes or is it better to write multpile stand alone programs that
- are called from a menuing system. Keep in mind some of the programs will
- need to share data if one progam calls another I may need to pass keys to
- files etc.
-
- Any help you can give would be appreciated. I would also appreciate if
- you could comment on how to implemet your suggestions.
