PC Soft / Windev Sites Down

Hi all,

It appears www.pcsoft.fr and www.windev.com have been down for over 24 hours. For a technology based company, that's a long time to have your lights switched off. Anyone know what's going on? Have they gone out of business? Is it time to turn to Delphi?

Hi Peter,

yesterday, <b>November 11th</b>, has been a holiday in quite a number of European countries and in France too! Its 'End of World War I' remembrance day or 'Armistice 1918'. So, no one has been in the Montpellier office building.

It may be that their server went down meanwhile, the cleaning brigade just pulled the mains plug on Monday evening, whatever.

I'm sure, they will detect the problem on 9:00 which is another two hours to wait. If the problem is to be fixed easily, we will see PC Soft's web sites on 9:10 again, if not, it may take the full morning. So, please be patient!

Kind regrads,
Guenter

Hmm. I didn't realize they were running WebDev on their own server...
