I'd sure like to give it a try, Claus, but I'm pretty new to Java (as well
as VARPG), so I'm not quite sure I would know where everything has to
reside. Obviously, since the thin client has no hard drive, nothing can be
there. Would the classes reside on the IFS?

Thanks for the help!

Chris

Hi Chris,
if the browser in the Thin Client supports a 1.2 level of JAVA then in
theory this should work and the VARPG applications should run in the
browser JVM as applets. I haven't tried this, when I looked at running the
VARPG apps on a Thin Client a couple of years ago, the browsers at that
time didn't support JAVA 1.2.
I know that some of our VARPG customers are running VARPG apps in an NT
Server environment on Thin Clients, that seems to be working well, we
haven't tested this scenario  but from what I gathered in our Newsgroup
this seems to be working well and you don't have to worry about some of the
VARPG features that are not supported in the JAVA generation of VARPG.
