What's with the packages?

Hi Kornalius,

following the discussion on the forum, i understood, that f.e. data edition plus mobile edition represents the same fuctionality like ppl 1.53 prof, except gaming programming.

But what's with the packages, you listed on your website. Will those packages add supplemental fuctionality? As i understand, they are not included in base package. In reverse, base package will not support printer setup, nor unicode, nore phone handling fuctions, and so on?

Please drop a line.

Best regards

Of course they do add tons.

The Orion database package adds Visual SQLite Query Editor, Table Editor from the project manager, creation of databases and tables visually in the project manager, visual report builder, plus powerful object-oriented easy-to-use libraries.

The Swirl Game package offers, visual map editing, object-oriented, music/sound play, visual surface editing and more...

What I meant was that if you want to use PPL 2 just like you did with PPL 1, basic Windows API programming (non object-oriented, neither visual), you can do what PPL 1 did, but that would not be the point of using PPL 2 right?

But to target Windows Mobile platform, you need the Windows Mobile SDK.
