Thanks Mark, I'll take a look. I want to put the business rules in the model as well. In fact I want to put as much as I can in the model because one of the problems we have had over the years is having different programmers implementing almost the same business logic in different programs and the logic changes but not all the programs do... It would require a strange MVC setup to place that in the model.

Right now we have created a database in PostgreSQL that maps the dBase

have a set of "normalized" tables in the same PostgreSQL database and we
"massage" the data into them every night. We do the same thing the other
way, back to some of the dBase tables. We are working with 2 systems at
one time, chopping off some stuff from the old dBase system and writing
models in the "new" PostgreSQL system. We want to use Rev for the end-users and are creating little pieces at a time but we don't want to
get to far if we can work the MVC in...

The hard part is getting from the old .prg files into a different
paradigm.

Dave Bovill and I have taken somewhat different approaches to a runrev
implementation of an MVC architecture. I'm not sure if Dave's made his
public yet, but you can see mine on revonline. You may not like it if
you're used to a traditional MVC construct, as I've turned it some 90
degrees and put the burden on the model rather than the controller,
but I think it fits with xtalk better that way. At any rate it may
give you some ideas of how you want to implement things.
