- A while back I posted a request for information about a shareware package
- called CXL (C eXtended Library). In true net fashion, I received the
- information I needed very quickly and from several people. Thanks to
- everyone who responded to my query.
-
- For anyone else who might be interested in CXL, this is what I found out:
-
- > Mike Smedley sold CXL to Innovative Data Concepts some years ago.
- > It's now called TCXL, and is, I believe, no longer shareware. At
- > least, I've seen ads for it from commercial vendors of software.

- I contacted IDC and they are sending me demo disks. They have a
- DOS version for $99 and a windows version for $69.
-
- I received mixed reviews from netters on the TCXL package. Everyone
- who responded to me who expressed an opinion liked the original CXL
- but 2 netters told me that the new TCXL is buggy and is quite different
- than the original CXL, with many of the old functions gone and others
- substantially reorganized (a bummer if you already have applications
- built around the original).
-
- On the other hand, another netter had high praise for TCXL saying that it
- was a much more mature product than the original.
-
- I can not offer an opinion of my own since I have not yet seen TCXL. So
- this post is not meant to be an endorsement or a sales pitch for the
- product. I simply offer it as information.
-
- Thanks again to everyone who helped me out.
