The Omnis technical newsletter was published up to Sept 2010 and is no longer circulated. The information in this archive relates to Omnis Studio 4.x and has therefore been superceded by later versions, but may be of interest to long-term developers who are converting from Studio versions prior to 4.x or Omnis 7. Indeed, there are many techniques described in these pages that are still current, such as list building, variable declaration, and general graphing - all readers will find this information very useful. We are indebted to David Swain who provided many of the tech news issues here, and to Caroline Wilkins who provided the material about creating web applications using Omnis Studio.
