     Future Prospects:
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Version 1.50 is the end result of the current development cycle
     for TSDWIN. A new interface library will be released late in 1992
     and will include a new window handling scheme and classes. At
     present, it is our intention to make the new version compatible
     with TSDWIN V1.50 as far as is possible. The use of classes will
     be available, but we will continue to include pure function call
     capability, if only for speed. Although we realize the importance
     and challenge of fast and consistent methods of program
     development, we feel that not all end users will be willing to
     invest right away in new hardware which will provide the speed
     necessary to keep up with re-useable programming styles. We feel
     the programmer should continue to have tools at his/her disposal
     which will allow him/her to develop software designed with the
     client in mind. While TSDWIN does allow you to totally configure
     your own software environment, it does make it easy to produce
     easily maintainable, re-useable code.

     The first release of TSDWIN promised a Dialog Class with version
     1.50. It is now our opinion that any dialog system may be
     constructed to the programmer's specifications with TSDWIN V1.50,
     therefore we are not including a comprehensive dialog class with
     this version.

     The author and other software developers are now considering
     business and development relationships to investigate the
     possibility of releasing a grahics based version of TSDWIN.
     Graphics and object-orientation will be prime concerns of ours in
     the coming months.

     We will try to maintain our original promise to provide flexible,
     easy to use software for Clipper programmers which will enable
     them to take advantage of the many facets of Clipper with the
     lowest possible relearning time.

     All TSDWIN users are encouraged to participate in the support
     areas we have set up in the US and Canada. Plans are underway to
     provide support in Europe and Australia. Beta testers are always
     welcome and applications for beta status should be addressed to
     the author.
