So you should be able to download it and compile it with SharpDevelop or MonoDevelop (But you may have problems running Dataphoria because it still has many Win32 specific PInvoke calls, and because WinForms support in Mono is still not perfect, but you can always help with that by joining the development effort)<br /><br />Also Dataphor can now store its catalog in SQLite, so it no longer depends on SqlCE for that.<br /><br />I hope this time, this news it is really news for you... ;-) (and remember, if you like what Dataphor could provide, why not help in the development effort?)Luxspeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636706720254040664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26610718.post-14388759288284488912009-02-18T08:43:00.000-03:002009-02-18T08:43:00.000-03:00Luxpes, you anſwered to a þree-years old poſt... a...Luxpes, you anſwered to a þree-years old poſt... and wiþ old news at þat.<BR/><BR/>In ſhort, while the DCG indeed freed Dataphor, all is not well...
