This will be one of my final posts on Pimp My Clarion.
As part of the Tech Evangelist job, I’ve moved the "redesign" of Pimp My Clarion into a separate project, new URL and all that (the URL hasn’t been set in stone yet).
My apologies to all those who have been offended by the use of ‘Pimp’ in the title. And in my language. I’m remedying the title with the new site, and I’ll do my best to clear it out of my vocabulary. Need to find another word .. ‘Bling Bling’? Heh heh.
There has been some renewed newsgroup action on my post from a few days ago, subject line: ‘[Pimp My Clarion] All Hail Clarion’. It’s good to see people sharing their thoughts and concerns. It’s far more important we talk these things through in a private or public arena with clarity, diligence and .. ‘compassion’ might be too strong a word, but something like that. Not jumping around waving a fire brand.
THANKYOU to everyone who I’ve conversed with over the last few days. Without exception I’ve gained more understanding with each conversation. Each email.
There are a lot of plans for the immediate future. I hope that the community not only benefits, but truly succeeds. Not just because of what I do, but because of what people will see _can_ be done, and that sparks them into further action.
That’s a very generic paragraph .. but I can’t be more specific at the moment. Apologies.

2Not sure if this is a good place to ask, or should I post in the NGs….
You seem to have the lo-down and a hand in SV’s left pocket.
I know applications will have to be rethought (rewritten) from C7 to Clarion#.NET, but do you think we will be able to “psuedo-Convert” a a C7 Application to Clarion#.NET?
I would at least be able to “Import” the APP and I will manually re-edit the EMBEDs for logic.
I know ACCEPT\LOOP and EVENT oriented code will have to be revoiewed and rethought. Its the GUI I want to preserve from existing apps.
Thanks for any insights.

3Kevin,
According to SV, with regards to the conversion of an App to .Net:
- It’s very likely that you can convert the UI with a 95-100% success rate.
- The “flow” of the application should be no problem.
- Embed code will have to be at least a partially manual process. Some embeds have a direct mapping that can be wired up, and although the code may have to be changes, it will “be there” for you to see and use.
Hope this answers your queries.
Cheers,
Stu Andrews
