The new box may be Pandora's.We have to get quite a few things tightened up, I say,
before we lift the lid.I am very unhappy with working on a live machine, and so propose to
buy an additional box for off line development at 77 Hurst St.I know WilliamC has at least one Linux box, but think that TimJ should
think about purchasing a local machine.The integration of Paneris with panerisdev is something which
needs to be planned and agreed. In particular I would be unhappy with
all of my work for the last x years being thrown away.The upgrade path that I envisage is that the PMS is
ported to a local machine at 77 Hurst Street.
I would integrate paneris functionality with the PMS,
thereby coming to understand how the DBI works.We have dropped the ball a bit as we have not got
some of the prerequisites to run PMS locally.At the moment the outstanding actions/options seem to be:
1. Port PMS to McMeric (my localhost) and use Access95
2. Port PMS to McMeric and buy Access97 (:()
3. Port PMS to McMeric and use free Win95 compatible DB
4. Port PMS to new Linux box (Eric6)
5. Not bother, buy new linux box (named ....), install PMS,
port a bit of Paneris and throw away the rest. (:()Next issue is the domain name of new machine.
We can, and perhaps should, put www.paneris.co.uk and
www.hoop.co.uk on it.But perhaps we should move up to www.paneris.org(.uk)?
What then should we do with www.paneris.co.uk and
www.hoop.co.uk?I would very much like MylesC to port PMS to my local machine,
with or without data, on any DB he likes, so that I can get on
with the above.
