I see. I use ASTA form manye years before switch to RemObjects. That
you mention is like the ASTA approach.

you may be connecting to an older server. Pluses and minuses; for
single developers or small teams the dynamic nature may be a plus;
larger teams would certainly want the more formal structure.

Rigth. Thats was the reason i switch to RemObjects. All your work is
fully autodocumented and inside a framework. Any developer partner can
get mr quickly wich do you intend to do. Hard to do in ASTA.

Based on Roadmap, it looks like it's evolving into a less structured
RO, with more formal db connectivity to come and IntraWeb-like stuff
coming as well. My take on their roadmap. Oh, and main
functionality is non-blocking sockets, (but threaded handling), I
think based on Piette's.

That is the only think i interest from RTC, but have a high price to
pay...

BTW, im testing the new TCP SuperChannel at RO 4.0. If that work as
they say, i will stay there. :)
