makku: The VFB in PPL 1.04 (to be released today) won't be VGA compatible just yet. The developer didn't find time to solve the problem. We will do our best for next week's release.

I'm a little confused. . . . is this "only" for writing games, or can you create databases and their associated forms with this? I ask, as it says you can create "forms" and that it is OO, but everything here sounds like it is just for game creation. Perhaps the "forms" are really game characters and the OO is game objects?

Enquiring minds want to know...

Cheers,
Dobermann
