Robert

All the best

and for the rest of us

VO is currently pretty stable. there are bugs like ReportPro 2
designer not properly fixed, and its pdf generator not properly
enabled - but work arround [e.g. pdf995 and bullzip] exist

and dare i say it, i am still waiting on the 2.8 sp3 version of rp2
designer - maybe i hold the world's last licence ofr it ...

anything else can be done via geoff's methodologies

but i think that grafx [viz brian] ought to tell us the following:
a) what is the extent of the agreement with ca.
when does it expire ? can vo ever go open source ?
b) what his plans are for vo and vulcan ?
is there ever going to be another release for vo ?

or have we, as prediced often enough by geoff "reached the end of the
road".

currently somewhat disappointed,

richard

I also wish you lots of success and thank you for the work done on VO.
What I wonder now: I've suggested in the past that VO users wishing to
have things done may join forces and hire you directly to have the
work done as such a request to Grafx has always been in vain. You were
willing to do so but my first call in the NG did not bring many
reactions. In a later stage I had some more, so I can imagine that if
I spend some more time for approaching VO users we maye have a couple
of VO users wanting new or improved features and maintenance and
willing to pay for that.

Is this still a possibility for you to do so, or are we again
depending on Grafx who's only interest is Vulcan?

Dick

richard,

I don't understand why you are still "waiting" for anything. It is what it
is. It also is what it will be.

Robert's efforts have left us with a tool that remarkably is actually useful
in its present form (unlike before 8 years ago). What it can't deliver, we
can find elsewhere and even integrate with apps built with it. I wish Robert
all the best in his new work. I have no doubt there are many other projects
that could benefit from his expertise.

Best of luck! I appreciate all the work you have done on VO and Vulcan!

Best of luck! Thank you for all the very good work you have done on VO and
Vulcan!

You have been a valuable member of the community before you joined Grafx,
during and hope you will continue to do so whenever you have a chance.

Good luck Robert ...

and thanks for the mammoth contribution you have made through GrafX
and under your own banner.

I hope our paths will cross again before to long ... perhaps in some
other NG.

All the very best

Mike Pitcher (and the team)

without a doubt, VO has reached a level of stability where it will
remain a very valuable tool for many years to come - just as clipper
before it. and amazingly, my local pub still uses clipper software to
run its tills ... part of the largest pub chain in UK.

and without a doubt such stability has been due mostly to your
efforts.

thanks - it will keep me in a living till i depart [programming
anyway].

for Geoff - denial about wot mate ... ???

for Brian - where's the policy statement ?

regards

richard

Hey Robert,

Thanx for all your energy and effort to make VO what is is today: A robust
and powerfull language!
All the best for the future and I hope you find some new challenges that
dare your mind.

With respect, Marc
