Re: Re JBuilder

Jon, I'll reply here, for a couple of reasons: 

1) I get stuff wrong sometimes, so it'd be better if I say it in the open
in case I screwed up again. 

 2) my point of view may be shared, or not.  Others may wish to comment on
comments.

-----------
About VaRPG:  I haven't been able to get it to actually connect yet for a
lot of reasons, including the major reason of my not really being a guru
of anything, certainly not of AS/400 connectivity.  Hopefully the  newest
evaluation  version will work.  I just ordered it off the web site a few
days ago.  It said 3 to 5 weeks for delivery, or some such.  Maybe that'll
work out ok.

About Java...  I understood we'd get  the enterprise edition with our new
box last October, but it never showed up.  Are you suggesting that VAJ is
something that is easier to start frrom scratch with than is JBuilder?

(remember, Jon, we country boys have to start from what is in the package. 
There's no guy walking around that can answer a few simple questions to
get us started.)

---------------------

 I'll be a Son of a bitch.  How'd you  do that Jon?  The Airborne Express
guy just showed up with the evaluation copy of VaRPG while I was writing
this.  Guess I know what I am doing this weekend.   :)   Thanks for the
great service!
