For all those curious ones out there: We have received remarkable and very positive feedback on R:BASE eXtreme, which was presented at the conference. Due to time constraints and everything else that is bundled with perfecting a product release, we were not able to demonstrate a few cool features. But, that's how it goes when you are trying to squeeze in everything that you can.
Everyone wants their hands on this version of R:eXtreme. However, if you know me by now, you know that it will not be made available until everything is checked and verified accordingly and the product has passed its "first flight" test. For the record, our first private and pre-purchased betas are as good as real versions to go live, and R:eXtreme (v9.0) will be no different when designing and deploying your R:eXtreme database and applications. There are a few major pending items related to new data types and their full implementation. Once those items are handled, we'll have very good news for you. FWIW, your existing R:BASE Turbo V-8 database(s) will only have to go through a single-step "TURBO dbname V9" command to convert the entire database. This required step will add all additional system columns in SYS_FORMS3, SYS_LABELS3, and SYS_REPORTS3 to keep track of all forms, labels and report revisions. Your existing working Turbo V-8 applications will be fully compatible - no changes required. You may need to revisit all your forms, labels and reports, only if you wish to take advantage of enhanced and new features, options and properties. Keep an eye on: http://www.rbaseeXtreme.com or http://www.rbaseXtreme.com http://www.rbase.com/products/compare.php Meanwhile, we will continue the support and enhance the production of our current versions of R:BASE 7.6, C/S:I 7.6 and Turbo V-8 for Windows, including all related add-on products. The best is yet to come! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
