Re: Is anybody using Seagull's new Transidiom software (Screen Scraper)?

And, for those people thinking about it, that is one of the things to
consider seriously. Take care to (a)  plan the project well and (b) select
tools that will assist in reducing the total implementation and maintenance
time.

As an example of the project planning, I two customers with about 600
screens in their application. Customer 1 - spent 2 weeks training and
piloting, and using the pilot to build a set of GUI development standards...
then 2 weeks to build the GUI. Within one month, they were ready for
deployment. Customer 2 - starts by playing/hacking and following programmer
whims. Six months later, they called for help. They spent more time
rearranging than starting from scratch, and in another three months they
were ready for deployment. You can guess which one looked the best, was the
cheapest development and the easiest to maintain...
