I'm going through this same process. I ran into the same problem as you with all the examples showing FB3 to FB4. So I took a class on FB4 and now it really isn't so scary.
One thing I have discovered is that the "myglobals" file in FB4 is the equivalent of the app_locals file in FB2, with the addition of setting vars for "self" and "myself". You can still use it to set your request.stylesheet, request.title, DSN vars, etc. Sorry, I can't help you with comparing FB4 with Mach-II. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:189274 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
