Hi Ed
I need an advice. I am implementing an ERP solution for my institution
based on webERP (weberp.org). I am having trouble giving client side
front end to my users. I am the only one pushing here for Opensource and
GPL software. All others are M$-VB cats. I have deployed lots of thin
clients using 486s all over. I need to give good front end for Inventory
and Billing, which should not be web based. The trouble is that my users
are already using stand alone third party packages on Windows, develped
in VB. I have taken up to replace these with Linux and good front end,
without using any proprietory tools. First, i need to convert my
Purchase order program written using Delphi to Dabo. Then start off with
Invoicing and Issue from various stores. Back end is MySQL 4.0.xx. I was
trying out the OSS Delphi clone called lazarus (lazarus.freepascal.org).
But seems to be too tough to whip up Apps fast.
Plz give me an unbiased opinion on Dabo for my purpose.
I havent worked on Dabo much. But the Wizard demo is fantastic! I am
updating my data by hand thru the wizard into MysqL, for the past 2 days.
Is it possible to get into Dabo fully and develop 'real' apps as of now?
Can I replace Delphi development fully, so that I dont need to look into
any other tool for my modest needs?
Plz give me your answers, my job here will depend on the decision I make
now. Have to deliver by the end of this month.
regards
Nataraj

DABORUN caused an invalid page fault in
module MSVCR71.DLL at 0167:7c34a232.
Since Python is compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1, it requires
the associated runtime, which is MSVCR71.DLL. Apparently your Win98
system doesn't work with that DLL very well.
I'm not able to support Windows 98, since I don't have a machine that
runs that version of Windows. As a result, we've set Windows 2000 as
the oldest version of Windows that we can support; see
<http://dabodev.com/wiki/RequirementsForDabo>.
I noticed that Py2Exe, the package we use to create the Runtime
Engine, has some suggestions for Windows 98 users. Again, I haven't
tested them, but if you decide to and it works, please let us know!
