Yes the tools are out there, some of them are truly exceptional, and a few have a short learning curve. We have worked with Pete Schellenbach at Accuterm for many years and found it be a rock-solid product backed by people who understand and adhere to the concepts of user-friendly and easily supportable. Pete and his brother were responsible for the "cursor-table" / "define-cursor" definitions that are the basis of the @(-xx) definitions that exist within modern pick environments. We have integrated the Accuterm GUI API into our 4GL (Nucleus) and am constantly amazed at the ease with which GUI applications can be deployed within our environment. Nucleus uses the Accuterm GUI API set and simplifies the effort of adding a Graphic User Interface to pick applications. It alleviates the need of the programmer to plug GUI calls into native code while enabling the programmer to call any ActiveX or Java control where desired or if needed. <shameless plug> Both GUI and green screen environments within Nucleus are supported with ONE set of application code, data structures are based on data dictionaries. The learning path is upward, not tangental and is based on Pick standards and concepts. I would be happy to demonstrate to anyone in the pick community (U2, Pick, UniVision, jBASE, Reality) a conceptually elegant way of managing data and simplifying support within a consistent environment. Yes, System Builder applications can be converted to Nucleus. Yes, Nucleus supports all modern pick flavors. Yes, we have deals for developers. </shameless plug> Regards Lee Bacall http://www.binarystar.com Tollfree 866-882-1888 Phone: +1 (954) 791-8575 Cell: +1 (954) 937-8989 > My main point was, that the tools are here.
