Jim I think your were right about GUPTA. Yesterday it was up when the market was down. But today it dropped 3/4 while NASDAQ up to 12.72. I think it is the good time to buy it. I have been working on GUPTA development for almost 2 years and also experienced using other 4GL client/server development tools such as Powerbuilder and Visual Basic before. Almost everyone who has dual experiences on GUPTA and Powerbuilder would agree that GUPTA is a much better and more powerful tool than Powerbuilder. Its SAL provides full support of Object-Oriented Programming and makes it easy to implement whatever desired by the users. GUPTA works very well on the big system while Powerbuilder, Visual Basic, MS ACCESS are more suitable for small and stand alone system. The question is what is the ratio of big ones vs. small ones in the market. On their June’s developers conference, Centura (GUPTA) announced the timetable for their new products. The most attractive ones are ‘Centura Ranger’ and ‘Centura Web developer’. The former offers universal data replication and the later lets you easily "web-enable" both applications and data. Centura’ system requires Window 95 or window NT. It is hard to tell how many companies will upgrade their systems in the near future. Probably we won’t see Centura’s new products in great demand within one year or even longer. I think not so good marketing is one of the reasons their products have not been widely recognized. They have changed their market strategy. I was told that they increase their advertisement from on 4 magazines to 14 magazines. I and my co-developers of GUPTA are confident that it will go up eventually. P.S. Thanks for starting this site. Cathy
