Thanks for that info. I don't expect I will ever really need to
license up from the version of 4.5 I have, but as I expressed, I tend
to packrat rather than dispose. This app runs some serial hardware
and a beehive ADB i/o. Version 4.5 had all the features needed and
the change- run to test loop was so much faster too on old hardware
with the old version....
Isn't 4.5 just amazing. The compile was so fast that you could test
the syntax of your code by compiling and running the whole binary.
Not only that, but you could modify the code of a running application.
What a pity RB2006 had lost the most brilliant features of the old
compiler.
But the "Brilliant Features" of the new compiler far outweigh those
of the old compiler IMHO. Sure, some speed has been lost in the IDE
but what has been gained is very significant. It is much more stable,
has better error checking and is more representative of the actual
built app. as it is a full build instead of a temporary guess. This
was mainly due to the development in the area of cross platform
application compilation.
