Install WMI on NT to get around the compatibility reasons or get rid of NT at all. COM is bliss.



Wrong answer. Zero points.
I'm working at a hospital and we even got some NT SP-3 machines somewhere on mission-critical. Those are not to be updated in any way! We even got some Win9x (not many!) machines here for special hardware that isn't supported on WNT/W2k/WXP. Also we don't have money to spend on updates that are actually unnecessary by just checking what we are doing in our login-script and/or executeables.

Also if you want to get a real bliss, check out REXX. That's a really perfectly designed language and easily enhanceable. I would really like to have some its features in KiX like e.g. enable DLL enhancements by other coders.

So I misunderstood your quote. Sorry. Anyway just fyi: I'm developing under KiX for around 1 1/2 years (at that time I started working here) and migrated our whole login-script to KiX. Runs pretty well here. It also communicates with REXX code running on an OS/2 machine that is also containing our computer-database, software-deployment, CGIs and much more stuff. That's all REXX (including some KiX for software deployment). I started coding under REXX around 5 years ago. I'm also developing under Watcom C/IBM C and I even did some REXX extension DLL. I don't like coding under Win32 platform, especially because our applications NEED to run under various Windows OS and sometimes that can get pretty complicated if you know what I mean.
