Re: Legacy green screen apps to Windows GUI

Mary,

We have successfully used Seagull's JWalk to put a Java-based GUI front end
on classic RPG screens.  The user is actually running the RPG program, with
the standard screen, but there is a Java client program running in the
browser screen (IE browser, not MAPICS browser) that gives a "web" look and
feel.  Warning!  It doesn't look like MAPICS Browser!

As Eric Wolf said in an earlier response, using Integrator would probably
be better - it would literally be MAPICS then.  And if you are on R7 (which
from what I have repeatedly been told, works great in green screen also),
Enterprise Integrator does an incredible job.  Phil Joseph did a
presentation at last year's conference, and he knocked the socks off
everyone in the room.  How many sessions have the attendees break into
applause when stuff is demo'ed?  Incredibly powerful, allows for RPG code
to be inserted to do extremely custom stuff - it even generates most of the
code.  Wow.
