Everything you mention fullfills the former, but doesn't really help the
latter. mv.net or similar is almost essential for the "dotnet"
developer.

Yes, I'm sure there is a huge audience with .NET developers, most of
whom are predisposed to SQL, tending toward SQL Server, MySQL, or
Oracle. Some still work with Access too.

I think the best shot is the huge audience of those who write and
maintain web pages. By far the easiest database to adopt once you
decide to move to data-backed web pages is MySQL. It seems to me that
there could be a Pick flavor that played in that sandbox.

Soooo, if the setup was available as a browser page or a Windows GUI screen
and with the configured database accessed through either http calls or
dotnet objects, would that about cover things?

I mean SQL wrappers are already available for data extraction (and update in
many cases) and every type of functionality necessary is already in there
too. So with some "wizards" (nods to Ken Simms RIP) to build the files and
dicts, while looking like SQL tables, and with built-in XML parsers; what's
not to like?

The *nix people are mostly comfortable with text based control methods, but
the newbies need GUI, so let's give it to them. As long as MV sits on the
back somewhere, I'd be happy.

We all know that Martin has nothing to do lately <grin> But a pre-built
AccuTerm GUI application for the WinDoze types (like Wed) and a "Web-bundle"
with pre-built Coyote serving up a browser configuration application (added
cost of course), OpenQM could be the first one there.
