[Gambas-user] SVN

[Norarg]

thanks again,

get some worthy informations here :)

btw. prices are not really the problem here, I pay 70 pesos=12€ monthly, 
the availability is:  because of the size of ARG they have very little 
of cables, everything is wireless. In the village where I live, they 
have two internet-providers - one of them has a "backbone" with 3 MBs - 
for about 300 users, so you get crazy trying to download something. This 
is near the river Parana, which is infamous for its storms (ask a sailor 
passing La Plata by Montevideo) - and those are periodical taking down 
the antennas, if the lightning does not do the work, the powersupply is 
down - just a little adventure living here. People are very friendly and 
as civilized as in Europe. And the climate is a hit. Enough :)

I'll go on with Gambas, looking for how to print, reporting, XML, PDF 
and so on.

Regards
norarg
