4gl/Motif library
Posted in 1995
About 9 months ago I completed an initial implementation of a 4gl/Motif library but had to put it on the shelf as my consulting schedule became too hectic. I am now trying to determine if I should finish it and if there is any interest in it beyond my own. It provides most of the Motif interface and many of the the most useful Xt (intrinsics) as a library of 4gl callable functions. The mechanism does not need to control MAIN and Motif command-line conventions for overriding resources are supported. Also, 4gl functions may be used as callbacks in response to Motif events. I have a pcode runner with the mechanism completely linked which provides rapid development as you only need to 'fglpc' the 4gl code and then run it. The library works with compiled 4gl and pcode 4gl. If you are interested, please followup to me via email.
