Did you see the review of X-Designer in the November 2 1998 issue of InfoWorld?

They gave X-Designer 5 their top rating of HOT. InfoWorld tested X-Designer 5 with all three thin clients, Motif, Windows and Java working with an order-entry application driving an Oracle 8 database. It was given all 'Pros' in the summary and *no* 'Cons'.

The headline of the review is:

"Software developers creating applications at mixed-platform IT sites often have to use multiple tools to meet the demands of different operating systems. Imperial Software's X-Designer 5.0 nicely solves this problem by blending support for Linux, other versions of Unix, Windows, and the Web into a single development tool."

Selected quotes:

"This is a state-of-the-art development tool that is well suited for legacy, client/server, or Web environments."

"leapfrogs other competitors"

"goes beyond the support for generation found in other rivals"

"X-Designer is a good match for developers who need to service multiple client platforms and types. Those who need to migrate legacy applications to the Web will also find X-Designer right on the mark. X-Designer is well worth a test drive."

The review's brief summary is:

"This a state-of-the-art development tool that is well suited for legacy, client/server, or Web environments."
