I don't know RunRev but the problem with Toolbook is that they never really upgrade to 
pass the 64 K barrier even in 32 bit platform :). So although you can developp a tree 
component in Toolbook (in fact there was one in the library) you was limited to 64 Ko 
for each page. OK you can cope yourself with the 64 Ko barrier ... but then you won't 
have time to do what you are paying for: developping the core functionalities of your 
application and not doing system programming. Also if you really need a commercial 
look and feel and high performance and functionalities only professional activex 
component can give it with no time hassle. So I am very inclined to chose Delphi for 
that but I don't like the "classical" development tool approach they are very retarded 
in concept compared to Toolbook but you can cope with high standards of GUI 
development for users which is a necessity for commercial products.

OK thanks I keep the url and will look at it.
