I don't know Powerbuilder, but I (tried to) work with Forms 4.0.11 - 4.0.13 for HP-UX. It never worked (about 200 known bugs, many crashes). Our last hope was Forms 4.5 for MS-WINDOWS. For 3 weeks we tested Forms 4.5.5.3.5 (Production). The Designer is very pretty and rather stable, the runtime-system is not. We have had so much GPF's and UA's, no chance to run any of our applications. Maybe it's only one (big) bug in plr1171w.dll, but after 2 years of hope now we have to face the realities and backport to Forms3.
