Dear Sirs
When I see many people dreaming about a lot of features like .net, =
linux,=20
etc. I only think:
When are you going to wake up? Are you not going to learn with the past?
Right Politics: FIX EASY AND BASIC BUGS FIRST...
I remember that LIKE function has a lot of bugs. Once I urged dBASE to =
correct it, it took a lot of time discussing... I said to myself, I am =
going to do it myself. I took a quite short time do do a function likf.
Of course, as it was a user function, the run process became slower... =
But I did it. I am sure that if I had the C code I would repair that =
fucntion pretty quickly. What I want to say is that many times it itakes =
more time to discuss about the things, than doing it. I understand that =
when bugs are difficult to kill, one can postpone them. But if they are =
easy to kill and damage the very basics of dBASE the politics should be =
MAXIMUM PRIORITY: why? Because it is a little cost for a HUGE benefit:
Why do people give in dreaming about castles in the air?
One example of it is the BEGINTRANS article I posted in the wish list
=ABHow can people survive without begintrans() working properly?=BB
I put this article in the wishlist because this is a wish: RIGTH =
PRIORITY POLITICS.
First things have to WORK, only after they have to be improoved.
The problem is that PLUS has not been born yet.

--If I only could use begintrans()?
--I remember that after a lot of effort we manged to convince dBASE =
there=20
was a BIG BUG in begintran(): Under the same transaction one cannot =
alter=20
twice the value of the same field and record, using browse or grid.
This was quite straighforward in versions before 5.7. This is a so basic =
feature, that I wonder what kind of priorities dBI is having.
My wish is: rational priority.
Without BEGINTRANS working well, all our programming in PLUS is stuck.
What a of a limitation you dare to have: NO USE OF BROWSE OR GRID for=20
serious programming. Without begintrans, there is no serious =
programming. Is=20
this asking too much? We have been waiting for years waiting...
dBI, are you going to hear us this time? It is hard to believe that this =
is=20
a limitation of BDE, Cannot people in DELPHI do this. Who knows!!!!
Believe, the question is not PLUS is good or bad, the questionn is that =
PLUS=20
is not WORKABLE yet. When the transactions do not work well, the =
database is=20
not workable yet.
I am only asking for PLUS to be workable! This is my wish: dBASE PLUS =
please=20
BE. Just what I want: dBASE PLUS to there be.... PLUS has not been born =
yet:=20
This is the reality!
In bynaries I will post again, the example (teste2.wfm) that proves that =
begintran does not work.
Please, do not ask us anything about why that is not working, blah, =
blah...
This is a so tremendous BUG!!!
Otherwise you are going to disapoint us...
Best Regards
Paulo Pereira
P.S.: I repeat: I only want PLUS there to be.
