There is a huge gap between supporting the small
MapBasic subset needed for workspace support, and support for the full
MapBasic language as we know it today. As I understand it, there are fundamental differences in the COM and .Net data models (selections, thematics etc.), resulting in many MB commands being "wrong" in the context of the new data model. How this can be reconciled remains to be seen. It will most likely only be a subset of MapBasic that'll be supported in Grande, rendering many mbx's invalid. The better option - imho - is for MapInfo to open source MapBasic, opening up for possible 3rd party enhancements. But is MapInfo willing to do that ? Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Lars I.

So they have already started implementing some sort of MapBasic support into the Grande Project, which will be the next generation desktop GIS from MapInfo. |
