I'm assuming that DCAL Classic is included with DataCAD, but are the other two available as free downloads somewhere?

Of the three, which would be the easiest for someone like me (a total newbie to programming) to use?

Guess I should have checked the stickies first, before I posted the above about which were free to download! :oops:

Still the same question about which would be easier to learn.

Pietro -

Two items:

#1) I had asked which one of the three 'flavors' of the programming language I should use. No response from you, either.
#2) I would hazard a guess that I'm not the only one that may try to sneak this into an already crowded day. If you expect me to devout time every day, I can't commit to that. Making money comes first ... this is extra-curricular for me.

I'm very interested, but it will have to be something I work on over the weekends for me. I've got to keep doing the work I get paid for to do during the week and the tasks to keep that work flowing. It is most appreciated the time you are dedicating to this task and hope this continues on.

I have Visual Studio 2008 Standard. Will this work or would you prefer that I use Starter Edition so we are on a level playing field? I can load started edition onto one of my VM's if needed. I don't know the differences between the two.

After downloading XBuilder, I used it a couple of times to generally see how one used it. Because I'd worked with DOS and DCAL, it worked great for me. First I did the "Hello World" sample. After that, I took the sample Arrow and disassembled it, re-worked it, and crashed.
How do we go about finding where we've created our own errors, let folks have access to the good and the bad that we've done here, and so on.
Having fun... confusingly.
