One of our users, Chris Johnson, has developed a .NET sdk wrapper for the Understand API.
I have written a .NET sdk wrapper around the understand API during the early spring and last fall. I wrote it because I didn’t want to use Perl anymore, and I wanted the strong type safety of .NET along with it’s wonderful debugging tools.
The API is written in managed C++ (i.e. C++/CLI), and once compiled, can be accessed by any programming language that targets the .NET framework.

I went and bundled some CVS commands into a User Tool. Just import it via the Tools | Configure User Tools | Import button.
I haven’t used CVS in years, so let me know if I got anything wrong

My son and I are fishing on a lake in upstate New York. Here I am with a 4 lb largemouth bass. Normally I throw them back, but this one seemed just right to feed us this evening. And it was tasty. The trip is almost over, so support will return to its slower lower quality form on Monday.

I described how you can move dock and information windows around in the GUI and anywhere on your monitor(s). In this segment I’ll cover document windows (editor and graph windows).
Here is Understand 2.0 with a couple tabbed editor documents and a tabbed graph:
