Hi, All,
Hmmm, not sure what to think... it is late and I have cruised through a lot
of programming tasks the last several days, nothing to do with Rev.

values, but just repeats the variable names on the right side

You can always try the updated version i posted last week.
It sure fixed lots of issues i had with the VW in the last rev release.
- columns are corrected (dont need resizing each time you open it)
- globals of type array show up correctly when not debugging.
- other minor improvements

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. I have spent the
last week and a half going over the specifications and using our Rev
project as proof of concept. Since we are using an outside company
for the coding, they have a person doing the use-case scenarios and
specs.
Hi Tom,
Do you recommend any 'good' books on this process? Maybe on what to
expect in the specs? Maybe what is most often left out and or what
most often causes the most problems?
maybe you like this arcticle by Joel on Software.
