color=#0000ff size=2>If you are sticking with Delphi, you should look at ECO. It
is far superior to what is available in .NET, even in .NET 2.0, far more
productive and is a _key_ cornerstone of BDS's competitive advantage going
forward. And it is in the Pro version - more bits in each version as you go
up.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=312301619-23052006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>its not a case of need, but from what I have seen, 2.0
certainly looks a bit better/easier to use.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=312301619-23052006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>The one example I would use is working with databases. in
1.1 you have to go thru the whole bind and the other thing I forget now, to read
data from a db. in 2.0 its just connect and access. Same process, just more
intuative I thought...but thats only me of course.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>I have just downloaded (overnight) the BDS2006 trial. I
could not find a trial of just D2006 on its own. once again, this might have
been me not seeing it. IF not, I wonder if the 500mb+ trial download puts people
off. It sure made me think twice.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
