Dave,
I take on board what you say but I think it probably comes down to
way you prefer to work. I don't like the drag and drop aspect of
WOBuilder, it's very easy and makes for a great demo but once you've
grasped what goes in which files I think it's easier to just type. I
realise that this is purely personal preference.
The built in EOmodeller in WOLips is fantastic as well.
I'll see how I go and if things get a bit hairy, I'll use plan b, the
Apple apps :)
Thanks again
Sean
