Re: Porting Unix Char-based 4gl to NT?
Posted in 1999
FYI: SuperNova offers an I4GL Extender product that allows the converted application to simultaneously present a wide variety of user interfaces - including a character based UI. The converted I4GL application is a single executable, simultaneously supporting GUI's such as: * Windows 95/98/NT * Motif * Java (Web browsers) * Character-based The same SuperNova I4GL application can be simultaneously executed from different GUI-client-platforms and even as the original character-based application (as if it was NOT converted at all). For more details, please access our website (www.supernova.com) or feel free to contact me directly. Bob Foery SuperNova, Inc.
