I AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING A MOVE FROM THE DOS VERSION OF ADVANCED REVELATION IN TWO APPLICATIONS ONE IS 2.0 THE OTHER IS 3.0. BOTH SYSTEM SEEM ADEQUATE. IS THERE ANY REAL STRONG REASON I SHOULD MESS WITH SUCSESS? ARE THE TOOLS THAT MUCH STRONGER? PLEASE ADVISE. I

Interesting question Charles - if you do not think there are compelling reasons, why are you strongly considering it?
Personally I hate change for changes sake. Almost all of our new development work is in OpenOnsight because clients want Windows software and we find we can deliver stunning apps quickly using OI. (And in honesty we prefer Windows development, it is more fun as it is sexier) However those who are in DOS we leave in DOS unless they want to move. As an example we've just signed a 5 year support contract with an AREV 2.0 system.
The reasons to move to OI are manyfold but they all assume that you want something more from your product. If your product does everything you want, and all your users are happy then don't move, you'll simply spend time and money to get the same system under Windows.
If you want to take advantage of the friendlier Windows interface, integration to other products and the Windows API, better mouse control, more flexible data entry controls, huge third party DLL libraries etc etc etc then move.
FWIW

Andrew,
Thanks for the insightful response. Guess I was just getting carried away with the windows mania. I am very please with the Rev 3.0 system but willl upgrade the 2.0 system. Is 3.0 the latest dos version of Revelation and can I upgrade directly from 2.0 to 3.0?

Excuse my unresearched question I am new at this Web site and did not recognize I could answer part of my question by looking. So allow me to re-ask by changing my previous question from 3.0 to 3.12.
Is 3.12 the most recent dos version and can I upgrade from 2.0 to 3.12 direct?

3.12 is the latest and greatest - it is a chargeable upgrade but one I feel is well worth it!
