For a graphic client you would have to change development tool. (Continuing to use a non graphic tool there is no use of putting the pictures into the database, is there? :-) X-Window is hardly a good option these days. At least what we see is that few customers want it. On MS Windows (95 or NT) there are many tools that can be used. NewEra is an option. A significant advantage is that you can reuse some of your 4GL code. If you can wait a little it looks like Java will become a very good option. :Any patch, idea, FAQ, ... will be appreciated.
