Hi Everyone. We thought we should share some additional information on PPL 2.0’s new object-oriented methodology called PCL (PPL Control Library).

PCL delivers to developers a wide array of standard and custom controls. Developers can easily create new custom controls into component packages for easy distribution. >>
PPL also supports the use of 3rd party DLLs and ActiveX controls, providing lots of options for great user interfaces. >>
For business software developers, PPL 2.0 offers a great set of objects that encapsulate the embedded database, SQLite. We’re trying to make it as easy as possible for developers to focus on their end-users and applications, rather than mundane low-level coding. >>
PPL 2.0 remains available via the ArianeSoft website at www.arianesoft.ca. >>
