Yes, BD did have it first, but because they announced it before Scorpio was settled it seems a good chance it will be added. In the meantime, the mod offered by Damon certainly helps those who want to check out the concept and indeed use it now in CF 7.02.
This reiterates a point I made many times while working for New Atlanta (makers of BD) from 4/2003-4/2006: having a competitor helped all of is, as it spurred Adobe (then MM) to be more open (telling us about new releases before they were released, whereas before the betas were quote closed and there was precious little discussion of new release features until it was released), and of course it also means that BD serves as something of a petri dish for Adobe: they can watch things added there and decide whether to bother adding them to CF based on community interest. Of course, the same went for BD, as they decided in BD 7 to not bother with the CFREPORT, Flash forms, or event gateway features. Anyway, as I've said elsewhere (and want to reiterate), I'm now no longer working with New Atlanta. Just wanted to be on my own and be free to work with all CF engines and users. Still friendly with them. No stories to tell there. :-) Cheers. /Charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Tilbrook Sent: Friday, December 01, 2006 12:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [cfaussie] Re: CFThread and CFJoin Copying what they are doing in the next version of BlueDragon?
