Re: Re JBuilder

Something had gone wrong.  I still don't know what, but finally we had to
shut down all tcp/ip services and restart them.  JBuilder is off my
"things to look at" plate for the time being.  

I guess its back to finding out what we can do with green screens, RPG,
DDS, and CL.   Users are screaming for something that is attractive to
look at and reasonably mouseable.  Is windows the only answer, for pete's
sake?  Visual Age RPG drove me nuts, although right now that seems the
most likely candidate for a successful gui to the AS/400, at least for an
RPG bigot like me.
