RE: Green screen to GUI

Hi Tom,

I think he meant that the executable resides on the server and is loaded
from there; that is, the shortcut on the workstation points to the server
version.  So it runs on the workstation, but is loaded from the server.

I have a customer who does something similar -- the VB app resides on the
iSeries and runs on the workstation.  The difference is that a .bat file on
the workstation copies the iSeries version to the workstation and runs from
there, but the copy only takes place if there's a newer version on the
iSeries.  Makes deployment simple -- put it on the iSeries.  When the users
exits and restarts the app, they're using the new version.

And yes, VARPG can use Windows .DLLs, last time I played with it (quite
awhile ago).  I'm used to VB, so the VARPG IDE didn't seem very intuitive.
