Re: stand alone modules (no service program) and handling file I/ O

Hi Scott,

That's the trouble with trying to find "the right way" to use AG's. There's
no such thing as a single correct solution, because their usage needs to be
considered within the overall context of the application design. The
ultimate solution is for everyone to learn the fundamentals at the outset.

This is a tough subject to try to tackle via a series of "best practices"
examples on a mailing list. My hat's off to Buck for putting in the effort.
If anyone can pull it off, it's him!


Regards,

John Taylor
