Another Look at Superbase Conversion
In my recent conversations with one of the old Superbase crowd who has taken the plunge and is converting/rewriting an application in SIMPOL, he mentioned that he is documenting his steps on a blog. For anyone interested in getting a different point of view and set of experiences, you may wish to have a look at Dan Jinks’ blog. I have to admit every opportunity I get to interact with someone who is providing solid feedback helps me to better understand what people need to learn and in what order.
Papatuo Holdings Ltd. announce a plan to deliver an updated Superbase Personal end-user product that will run natively on 32-bit Windows.
When this update will be available?
Superbase Personal 32-bit will be able to run applications written with SuperBoxes?
I’m planning to migrate from Superbase to SIMPOL but that cannot happen immediately. So Superbase Personal 32-bit may be a valid help for the time necessary to the migration.
Thank You for all.

Hi Giancarlo,
Superbase Personal is purely an end-user version. It won’t run any program code from Superbase. It will include tools to convert Superbase databases, forms, and reports into the new format (which is all in SIMPOL internally).
The conversion to SIMPOL will get easier and easier as we go forward, but it is already possible to convert piece by piece, so the best time to start is as soon as possible, to avoid adding new modules in Superbase that themselves will eventually need conversion. You can create a hybrid program, with Superbase and SIMPOL together.
Ciao, Neil
