Hi Jim,

Thank you for your feedback!

- Is table generator wizard in place?
Yes, BT includes a visual Wizard enabling to add table fields. Though in
practice we were convinced that a developer edits DDL directly much faster
than configures all column options in such Wizards :)

- what is state of help file (if any)?
Already prepared for publication, the help files will be published on our
website very soon, we are brushing them up now.

Can you make a statement on Devrace's commitment to this tool long term?
(not trying to be snarky, just that I put time into following betas and it
kept disappearing and/or changing name & home). I liked SQLH/BT design/UI a
lot, but am slightly hesitant to go there again after I thought it was
killed >several times in last couple years.
The product development was withheld because of some legal issues, and we had
to spend much time on solving them (you know yourself, it's not that
simple...) But we have not stopped developing the product because we do like
it a lot. Believing that the technology is very good, it's impossible to
abandon it.

Besides we had to make changes in the developers' team. Now Serge Buzadhy is
responsible for the IB/FB branch. As you know, Serge is also a developer of
Devrace FIBPlus. We never "killed" FIBPlus and have been developing it for
many years. So be sure BlazeTop (SQLHammer) will also be nursed with care :)
We already have a roadmap for its further development.

Thanks for your detailed response, appreciate it!!!

I'm registered @ your site, but couldn't get your page to
email me confirmation re: BT updates. I'd appreciate if
someone could do that... ///??? If so, will those updates
include notification when help file is included in download?

Thanks again.
