 Hi Mark, Happy New Year! I am working on a IDOL 7 upgrade (from Verity K2) project. Do you have any example, or sample code JSP, Java, ACI code for GUI...
Hi Otis, OK, I've put the summary in the blog, generally a 10% penalty, which I think isn't bad at all, given the increase in flexibility. We were pleasantly ...
