If I understand correctly, this is a request for the ability to run a CF app (optionally compiled) as a stand-alone app on a PPC...
If so, this is similar to previous requests to be able to distribute a self-contained CF app on a CD, to run on a desktop or kiosk, without the necessity (but the ability) to interact with the web. Not so far-fetched, IMO... like a RealBasic app on steroids. Point: the browser is becoming an ubiquitous application interface... could be the UI to a stand-alone CF app Point: There are many capabilities in CF server that would be unnecessary in a stand-alone implementation, e.g. session handling... these could be removed or ignored. Point: There are many good data-handlers available on the desktop... f text files, XLS files and SQL dbs to name a few. Apps could be written with a CF portion, running on the desktop, interfacing local files and resources... and interfacing with a web/intranet app, also written in CF, interfacing the server/enterprise resources. CF's ease of programming, and db interface would make it the hands-down winner in stand-alone app development. CF, then, could become the lingua franca of app development... desktop, server, whatever! From what I've read, php has the ability to run apps this way Dick On Friday, March 22, 2002, at 06:59 AM, Jochem van Dieten wrote: > David Adams wrote: >> It would be really great if I can run a CF application on the PocketPC >> (PPC).
