I just look at front of me when I start slowly to clean up my desktop that I have a DVD from Linux-format LXF 40DMay2003 yes six years ago.
I like to know if one of you know about RUNTIME REVOLUTION?

Yes.

No. 
There ya go! Now youāve got the choiceā¦
Undecided. 
Just to complete a normal voting patternā¦

Funny, you make a statement about another member attacking someone
in another thread, and then say something that could be considered an
attack. Only difference here is this one is a bit more subtle.

in the other case i was stating an absolute factā¦
in this case i was trying to be subtle and hoping he could/would take
the hintā¦

A smiley would probably have helped you make that subtlety easier to see.
Jim

Hey, we all make mistakes. Itās what you take away from doing so that
matters.
(I kinda suspected you were at least half-joking, 1michael1 does seem
quite prolific )

We used the product in an application for three years with disappointing results before switching to a standard Java language with good success.
A young intern from the University of Washington told me that his Computer Science professor told him, that RunRev violates a āprecedence ruleā in that it operates over the top of both Microsoft and Appleās operating system hierarchy. The professor said that so doing may cause incompatibility problems thus making programs potentially unstable and unsafe.
I am wondering if the quirkiness and fragility we experienced with Orbiter partially has something to do with this.
What is unique about our application is that we communicate to RFID readers and gain data at unpredictable times.
Runrev consultive programmers were never able to solve the data problem. We used Runtime Revolutions own people to write the program.
RunRev does not have an extensive library of common routines for connecting to disparate devices or manipulating date time data.
It seems optimized for gamming or for electrical engineers who have limited programming skils, and need to build a proof of concept.
I read that Runrev slows down when too many of itās programming cards are used, and if true is a sure limitation to growing a consumer productās future functionality.
Is Runtime Revolution really āhouse of cardsā method of programming? The larger the build the more fragile the outcome. The cards then come crashing down?
Supporting this is Runrevs own Programmers who have expressed frustration adn inability to document the program properly as the size has increased. This does not make sense to me, but I will take it at face value.
Gamming programming may be great! Prototyping super! But what other applications should be avoided?
If any of the above is true, knowing the truth helps people It prevents financial loss, lost time, and most important āsafetyā. As all programmers are aware, using a program wrongly can literally ākillā when used for ābatch / processing, device controlā in manufacturing.
Iāve used it for many years on Windows and OS X with good success, but have only started using it on Linux. Video and a few others things arenāt quite as smooth in Linux as on the other supported platforms, but for ultra-rapid GUI development itās hard to beat.
But do yourself a favor: if your only copy is six years old check out a more recent version. A lotās happened with the product since then.
