[NF] FYI - Alaska Software releasing Visual xBase ++ 2.0

Author: William Sanders

Posted: 2004-02-27 01:54:00   Link

it's still in prerelease at this moment [for public beta testing for current

xBase++ users]

but .

the IDE is similar to VFP

and

there will be a linux port sometime this year .

www.alaska-software.com or .net [they are changing it this month]

shiver me timbers, batman . I'm cutting a check the moment its a working in

linux.

I used xbase++ back in late 90's for 3 projects for a clipper port. mondo

slick then,

and still mondo slick for current shipping product.

mondo regards [Bill]

Don't hold your breathe - somewhere at home I've got an Alaska Software

Tshirt that's now three sizes too small and iirc they were promising linux

'real soon' when I got it.

My bank uses a card reader to log into on-line banking and money

transfers. To use, I pop in my card, enter my pin and the reader

shows a 8 digit code which I enter on the site. For transfers I have

to enter the amount too.

Can't help thinking that if all banks used a similar system this type

of bank fraud would be non-existent.

It's one of these:

That looks pretty cool.

I would guess that over time the cost of those devices was far less

then losses due to online key grabbers

Thanks for the heads up. I am going to ask my bank when they are

going to get them.

Paul

I use that too and I only wish it could be used for online purchases

instead of the awful Barclays "Verified By Visa?" service which requires

me to enter (e.g.) the 2nd, 4th and 11th characters if my 12-character

password ... I HATE that system with a vengeance ...

My bank requires that I use an ATM card for all transactions at the bank even if I'm at a teller station.

Why not extend that security to the web and require a rather inexpensive card reader at home?
