Have you tried either product ??
Before I get to this point and try either product, I would like to have a
bipartisan comparison of each to see what they are capable of doing. My decision wouldn't be made at this point, but it would give a clear overview as to whether or not one of these products is suitable for my needs. (Or if it's overkill, and regular DCL suits the purpose.)
I was on both websites of each product looking for information:
ObjectDCLHere I found and downloaded for further reading the PDF "ObjectDCL Ver2 Beginners Manual".
I skimmed through this document last night and found that it gives a good description of the setup, how it works, list of controls, etc. I'll be reading this further in depth today.
OpenDCLHere I found the beginners tutorial which I will first read through before starting the tutorial. I found a lot of screen shots, which also show what the program is capable of achieving. I also downloaded the latest version of OpenDCL, 7.0.0.2, which I will first install when I am ready to do an evaluation.
Perhaps you would be the best one to do the comparison chart ... If you meet the criteria you set.
I look forward to your evaluation.
Not necessarily, the criteria I set may not be the same of which others set.
Anyone could make a comparison chart. It would just give an overview of features and possibilities that can be achieved with the products over normal DCL.
I'll see what my research can find and I'll try to document it.
