I'm presently happy with Accuterm as a terminal emulator, GED which is their
GUI development module that designs like VB forms but is 100% pick
subroutines with pretty managable code. Toss in WED, which is their Windows
editor for programs and it's a home run.
I'm sure there's many other screen editors but WED has met all of my desires
for being 100% of the MS interface while intelligently editing MV programs,
ie formatting, compiling, INCLUDES, CALLS, Multiple documents etc.
Plus at $1000 for 50 licenses, it's a real sweet deal.
Peter Schellenbach is 100% behind this product and incredibly knowledgable
with MV, VBA and all of the GUI stuff. Having an emulator that can gradually
allow you to convert programs to GUI on a priority basis instead of all at
once allows for a smart transition.
There is no magic pill. We decide which programs need upgrading, typically
inquiry-based to give the users something beyond 80x24 green screens. We
also take some existing programs with the business logic already coded and
convert them to Callable subs for the GED to reference.
My 2 cents.
