Hi Hanz,

I'll try to answer your question:

CA-VO is coming from Clipper, in MS-DOS times one of the most used programming languages for business software.

The architects of VO (short for Visual Objects) took several ideas from Clipper, like codeblocks, arrays and the garbage collector combined
with the internal macro compiler and ported them to the Windows
platform, initially Win16 (Windows 3.1), and then Win32 (starting with Windows 95).

Personally, I'm working with VO since it is available, and IMHO it is
still the most productive development platform you can find for the
Win32 platform.
On the one side, you have high level libraries like the GUI, the RDD
and the SQL classes, combined with potent string and array functions, codeblocks and a very clean language.
On the other side, you can go down like with C and make manual memory allocations, pointer aritmetics and other low level functions.

The main problem of VO now is the problem of the platform itself: Win32
has its age, and will be replaced sometimes by the .NET platform.
Therefore GrafX, the distributor of VO, has created a new product, Vulcan.NET, that is highly compatible to VO, and now another company
has plans to launch another compatible product, XSharp (that currently
is in development). Vulcan.NET actually ships in version 4.

VO applications are rock solid, as is the development environment. One
of the revolutions of VO (unfortunately missing in Vulcan.NET and
XSharp) is the repository and the entity based compile process.

If you have other questions, please ask.

I'm really new to this company that i'm currently working. They gave
me this assignments (CAVO) for my work. I would like to ask anyone
with technical background to tell me if this has great future or
something that is on a sinking ship. What's the current state of
CAVO? What could I learn from this? If you don't mind, I would also
like to hear about some history lesson. Googling this subject does
not come up with too many results. Even troubleshooting is very
difficult. Thank you.

I'm still working in VO (but more and more in X#).

Dou you have the sources of your programm? If not, only the author of
your program can help you as VO builds compiled executables.

What do you need?

Wolfgang
