Prototype or production?

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Ben,

I use runRev's ancestor MetaCard in production no prob.

RunRev will make that even more enjoyable.

Prototypes? Well usually you prototype an application in RunRev
and this one becomes the final version in most cases. If you
need some speed enhancements you can always write or use an
external command or a shell application to do the heavy 
processing. 

For the most part, I develop on the fly any application that I
use in production (after testing naturally.)

I don't have much experience with RR database access yet but
the rest is really fine and works great.

Although I don't use perl (im kind of alergic to the syntax)
I use the shell command a LOT and it's not bad at all )except
for some shell commands that wait for an answer like telnet.)

Cheers
Xavier
