I can't speak authoritatively for Prelude (Activant), but I suspect they more or less followed where SB+ went. They made a tremendous effort to convert their whole application from all legacy code to SB+ about 13 years ago. Perhaps it was general fear for the future of D3, perhaps it was fear that SB+ would cease to be supported on D3, or perhaps since IBM owned the whole mess and they were IBM business partners, they thought it was the prudent thing to do.
>From our standpoint, we were happy with D3. It did everything we needed and I really liked FlashConnect for web connectivity. But we were about 3 major versions behind on the Prelude application code and wanted some of the newer features. When Prelude said they would not support the newer versions on D3, we were forced to switch. Conversion by coercion. =========================================================== Norman Morgan <> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <> http://www.brake.com =========================================================== Orville Wright didn't have a pilot's license. =========================================================== > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MAJ > Programming > Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2008 8:14 AM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: Re: [U2] RE: Switching from D3 to U2 > > Actually, what was the VAR's reason for switching. > > One of my client's VAR's forced a switch from UV to UD around > 9 years ago when they went from a green-screen app to having > rewritten their package with SB.
