- ODF Dudes - I would urge you to make your ODF port of MacApp's TGridView as
- compatible as possible with the original. I know that this is always a
- tradeoff with framework design - what to throw out and start over with, what
- to stick with - but in this *particular* case I think you have a
- well-designed, mature component thatt
- that works quite well. Of course, one of the primary downsides of frameworks
- is the learning curve, and one of the others is code compatibility... So try
- to avoid arbitrary changes, and be very clear about the changes you do make.
-
- So - GOOD LUCK AND GOD SPEED - the assembled multitude awaits your noble work,
- with bated breath!
