You can certainly consider BlueDragon to be a CF 5 compatible implementation of CFML. New Atlanta even has a PDF on their site explaining all the differences between CF and BlueDragon including enhancements that BlueDragon has that CF doesn't.
If you need specific features in CFMX like CFCs, then BlueDragon is not for you. On the other hand, if you don't need specific features of CFMX than BlueDragon is certainly more cost effective. As to using someone's product... I would say that there are plenty of other languages e.g. C, C++, and Java that are offered by multiple vendors and IMHO, are better for it. -Matt On Thursday, August 28, 2003, at 04:13 PM, John Wilker wrote: > Isn't blue dragon still CF 5?
