When ? Don't know. It is being demonstrated at the IOUGW. What is got ?

Details from 2 presentations and conversations. I have a demo early October of a working version which I'm looking foward to.

Technically:

Improved designer interface, much more like the environemnts associated with products like VB. Property sheets, object hierarchies etc.

much higher integration into windows:

supporting OLE2, VBX/OCX, access to DLLs (which includes the windows API), full MDI support, object inheritance/classes, object hierarchy views. (a la power builder ?) point and drag for design elements.
