I'm looking at migrating an application which, given its heritage, would be
suitable for D3. Is there a trial download available?

Last I looked, there's only a non-free developer version. I'll ask @ the
Spectrum RD booth tomorrow to be sure. Is there a specific reason you want
D3?

Many thanks - it would be helpful to know what's available, even just as a
low cost single-user licence.

I want D3 because my accounts are running on Advanced Pick SCO and I want to
migrate them quickly and easily, without conversion work, and retain the
things I've always liked about Advanced Pick.

When I used to attend the Pick conferences years ago, there was always a
time-limited download available of D3.

certain other things disabled for an unactivated system, but just to try
it to see what D3 looks like, why not?

I didn't have time to stop by and ask today and I'm leaving early in

group can verify. I'm almost 100% sure that you will have to buy a
developer license to get a fully activated system, but as a recent
poster stated you can download and install D3. You can then obtain a
temporary activation from their web site, but it will still not be
100% functional.

Yikes! You know, if you don't have a huge amount of PROCs in it you
should consider downloading OpenQM and giving it a whirl. Even if you
do have PROCs, don't lose hope. There is a group on Google Groups
where you can ask questions. Responses are normally quick, but this
week is the Spectrum conference.

I have not personally attemped a migration from our D3 box yet, but
I've tried to be active in the GPL development as a native developer.
I'll answer the questions I can here, but you're better off asking in
the OpenQM group. If you like the environment and you complete a
migration on the GPL version, then all you have to do is pay for
commercial support/licenses and do an upgrade. Licenses are quite
inexpensive, compared to many other flavors. If you don't want
commercial support and commercial enhancements/bug fixes then you can
run the GPL version indefinately. Just don't ask Ladybridge for help
when you find a bug. <G>

Thanks Art

I can't find any download links on the web site. Would you mind pointing me
in the right direction?

Or, if you run Windows try:

ftp://ftp.rainingdata.com/pub/NT/7.5.0/

and download the entire directory, which will download the documentation,
patches, and release.

There is a free evaluation of D3 available. Send an email to
orders (AT) rainingdata (DOT) com and request a 30 day evaluation license.

Robert, thanks for looking in and making a note about that. I didn't know
that 30-day full installs were available. I look forward to 7.6 on Linux
when it comes out. Is there any way to get a sneak peek at what a developer
will be able to do with the XML stuff? I'm _really_ interested in getting
access to a native validating XML parser.
