SIMPOL Documentation

In this chapter we discussed the issues facing a conversion from Superbase to SIMPOL. We also looked at various scenarios and discussed why SIMPOL offers the easiest conversion solution for existing Superbase projects, especially the advantage of doing a phased conversion where over the conversion period there is a hybrid Superbase/SIMPOL application that starts out wholey in Superbase and eventually bit by bit becomes completely SIMPOL.

Then using the tools, we converted a portion of a standard sample shipped as part of the Superbase 3.x series, including converting the database tables and one form. That form we then cleaned up in the SIMPOL Form Designer and finally we built a standalone application for it in just a few minutes by stealing most of the code from a standard sample program.
