- Very briefly, it is an application interface generator.
- Is it worth the $49.95? I cannot say since I have not
- worked with it. Also, I and others wondered how it
- provides more functionality than the Resource Workshop.
- But, the reason I decided it was worth paying for
- (the sales person did a good job, not pushy, just
- persuasive) was that Borland has the 60-day return
- policy. And if you order it with your BP7.0, there is
- no additional shipping & handling. Therefore, as the
- sales person pointed out, nothing is lost by
- giving it a thorough test drive.
-
- I also took them up on the Open Architecture offer because it
- provides what seems to be vast information on TP/BP
- internals. When the sales rep said it came with
- additional diskettes, I said that's for me because
- I was a little dismayed that I would be getting only
- ~28 mb with the upgrade.
-
- I can't wait until it arrives. I'm looking for any
- excuse to not work on my thesis.
