Hello Frans, Jan, Peter, Sander and Jack!

Thanks for organizing the meeting at this great place and allowing me to present Cockpit.
Organisation left nothing to ask for, the dutch coffee tasted great and dinner was superb.

My kids want to express their thanks to the organizers for inviting me because I came home
with 5 liters of different Frites Sauces and a huge variety (and quantity) of De Ruijter's
Vlok Feest and Vruchten Hagel.

I'm now looking forward to all the "tranquil" evenings indulging myself with my speaker's
present, a basket of different (and strong!) belgian beers. Cheers.

There is an extended version of my presentation available at www.xcockpit.com. Go to
"News" and use the link button in the topmost entry to get there.

Thanks also to my fellow speakers for making it an interesting day, thanks to the hotel's
barkeeper (with two mothers...) and all friends for staying up late.

In return, I hope I could contribute a bit of background information on Windows
and some insight into what Cockpit is all about.

Sorry we didn't get beyond the first presentation but I think it was the right choice to
ad-hoc dive into the sources and show you how things are done with Cockpit. I hope
the impression you got was a positive one and that it showed the structure and extent
of Cockpit.

Best regards,

Michael

I wish I could have been there - it would have been great to see everyone
again, and I would have liked to take the opportunity to talk to you as
well.  Maybe next time?

We see if we can arrange that. But it will be no sooner than 2007.

Well, I guess I might be busy for the next few weeks anyway, so that'll
take us into 2007 

Thanks for the thought - I'll see if I can knock up something special.

Initially I hoped to meet you there. But then you went underground. I would love to see you
at the next XXP meeting.

Best regards,

Michael

Michael,

Good to see you made it safe home.

As said at the meeting, the presentation contained
so much information, my mind is still processing it.

The technique used by cockpit to communicate with the OS
gave me a lot more confidence in the future of Xbase++,
since now I know there is a product, adding a layer to
Xbase++ offering the possibility of using any technology
created by microsoft, smoothly and quickly in our Xbase++
programs.

If microsoft comes up with ActiveZ or XYZ-subjects
today, we can use them through Cockpit tomorrow.
Really something!!!

Simon, also your presentation of Xoanon was truely
convincing. If you really want to have professional
looks of your program, Xoanon is the way to go.
Owner-drawing in combination with Xoanon,
the universe is the limit. Really fantastic.

Of course also thanks to Jan, but he knows for a long time I'm
an big admirer of his work. The concept of data driven dialogs
was not new to me, but the implementation of the concept was
quite impressive.

You know I want to hear it all, and we will have a follow up. For now, I 
have had so
many new perceptions to grasp, I can only say the meeting was (for me) a 
complete
success.

Best regards, & thnx,
Frans Vermeulen

Hi Michael,
i wished i have seen your presentation at the meeting in Anheim this week.

So alternativly, - i read your news-slides at the www.xcockpit.com
Is seems, that's a good way to use the whole windows-possibilitys (directly 
in parallel) to xbase++.

Regards
Oskar
