The Windows Project Plan

Here is an outline of "the Plan":

  1. Steve Patamia, author of DPMouse, is willing and able to serve as software architect for creating and/or providing the necessary tools to create Windows GUI versions of DataPerfect databases. Obviously he is not willing to do this for free. Steve is currently a PhD candidate and has offered to set aside his teaching duties to focus on this project IF there is a stipend. We as DP users and developers would have to put up that money. If no money is forthcoming, Steve will continue his teaching duties instead of focusing on DP.
  2. Steve would like to find a few other coders from among DP users--people who have a solid working knowledge of Visual Basic, Delphi, or C++ (the exact language has not been selected yet).
  3. If a coding team can be found and funded, we as users and developers would need to add our input on what capabilities we want in these software tools.
  4. Many of us will need to conduct extensive testing to ensure that these new software products are capable of meeting our database development needs.

If you would like to become involved in DPUC, you can send mail to James Trybalski..
