MC 2.7

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

Hi Chipp

Im not saying it must be a rev app. But opening MC made tools in terminal 
services or metaframes
where the bitdepth is not 24/32 creates horrible unpredicable color 
changes at any time - while this
is ok for administrative tools which only i use, it can't be ok for 
enterprise users.

The latest issue i reported on the list with crashes when reading files 
when theres a windows API 
timeout retrieving the files is another issue im very concerned with. 
Bugzilla in the making but a new
phase of testing is underway.

I've been using Enterprise MetaCard since 1999. I refused to update to rev 
due to the lack of 
ntevents reported on faults and crashes. I do update the engine from rev 
but i cannot afford to
add further risks in my applications (they are used daily to make critical 
migrations of banking data)
and i see lots of unexpected crashes at home in the rev IDE which make me 
skeptical that it's 
worth the update. I will update when i think it's solid enough... But it's 
still not the case.

cheers
Xavier
