- ObjectVision has nothing to do with BCC. It is not a class library.
- It is an application for developing form-like interfaces to databases.
- It has a novel visual programming 'language' where you draw decision
- trees. What is it good for? In my experience not much. Given another
- couple of revisions it could develop into a good product but it is too
- limited at the moment. Toolbook it 'aint. It also has an annoying
- tendency to redraw everything constantly.
-
- I am rather keen to get it (assuming the price is right) to see if it
- is any better/faster under OS/2. I am also hoping that it will include
- the Paradox engine DLL. I have the Paradox Engine for DOS/Windows and
- would be very happy to have an OS/2 version.
