ARev32
The new ARev32 interface contained within OpenInsight release 8.0 and later allows users and developers to run and create Advanced Revelation applications in a console application powered by OpenInsight.
The ARev32 interface supplements the GUI interface that is synonymous with OpenInsight. Both the GUI and ARev32 interfaces communicate with the Revelation OpenEngine (the "heart" of the database environment). Therefore, both interfaces have access to all tables and programs stored in the database, and they can interoperate. Developers can have the best of both worlds with ARev32 (both OpenInsight and Advanced Revelation), with no middleware add-on costs, as well as take advantage of OpenInsight's economical deployment licensing options.
Because ARev32 runs within OpenInsight your Advanced Revelation application is no longer dependent upon MS-DOS to operate. Developers and users of ARev32 can take advantage of Windows interoperability with ease. For example, accessing a networked printer or barcode reader, sharing ARev32 data with a third party piece of software (such as MS Office) or creating a data warehouse for your ARev system is extreme;y easy within ARev32.
Better still, converting from ARev to ARev32 is a snap using our Conversion Wizard. Within a few minutes you'll know just how successful your conversion project could be or how much work you will need to modify any application entities that will not automatically convert.
