as reply to mails, i am from pre-ms generation. when ms arrived the things had to be ibm compatible - it worked by creating a relatively common denominator (lowest maybe) for making mass software feasible (lotus 123 was the spreadsheet of the era but visicalc was the first; ashton tate's dbase became the database entry level later).
the paradigm shifted with borland turbo pascall - libraries of code were applied to cut down repetitive coding (i think borland was the first to use the term window - the mouse arrived with ventura publishing). this shift was a breath of fresh air and we all said that we were well on the way to a new generation which would automate even further and almost interpret things into plain english. now about 25 years on, we are still tick-ticking in code via a babel of languages - analyse the repetitive nature of the info being sought in the group and it seems that most are reinventing a wheel. of course i am getting old and cranky but not without reasonable cause - the very attainable things and logical progress have not happened. time for coffee and a smoke!
