>So which of you still uses RPG for new development? We use RPG and Cool:2E (formerly Synon), but a portion of our package is written in Delphi (fat client). We are tentatively looking for ways to put a graphical face on our package, so we're looking at WebFacing very carefully. Traditional screen-scrapers give remarkably hideous results considering that all the screens have the exact same layout (being machine generated). >Do you all use client/server or do you think that it is a >technology that is difficult to implement and which for >many installations has reached its "sell by" date. We are losing sales to companies that have a graphical interface; even a screen-scraped one. For better or worse, we must go that route. In addition, the undeserved "old and tired" reputation of the iSeries is losing some sales as well. There have been tentative discussions about platform independence. Client/server of some sort will help in that regard.
