Hello Slavko,

I'd only differ between 5 and 6 because 6 is still Alpha and shouldn't be installed in a production environment yet.
On the other hand, because it is an Alpha release, I don't know if this will be continued in Beta and full release.

Hi Fred.

the story is:
About two years ago i decided to implement OpenDCL in all my Auto/VISUAL Lisp projects.
Also to discontinue all my VBA projects. (This turns out to be a good timing :)

But i was really have a need for some kind of multi-language handling systematization, cause
my programs comes with (user interfaces/comdline prompts) in Serbian(Latin), Serbian(Cyrilic), English, Italian.

For cmd/prompts i have "string library files", with (StringLib strgID) calling.

For OpenDCL i'm just finishing set of subroutines for {easy-creating/calling/handling} *.LNG files.
*.LNG files to be exposed to end user, for modification or new translations.

DCL_FORM_GETCONTROLS is of course very important, for me, and i would like to know is this deference between return-types
official improvement and is it gonna keep current return-type in next runtime versions.

The final OpenDCL 6 release will return tab page controls. It's possible that a future version will distinguish tab pages as separate forms, but at least OpenDCL 6 will work as the alpha does currently.
