Re: IBM's VARPG - What can it and cant it do.

I hear you Buck.  Some years ago, when we were starting to dabble with
"Workwith" programs, I found PDM (while not perfect) to be a pretty good
model to use in building our own workwith programs.  What would you
recommend in the Windows world for a similiar model?  For those of us that
spend 98% of our time "heads-down" in green screen applications, where is
the best place to get acquainted with what has become a "Standard" in
windows development?  Can MS Office products be relied upon as a good
"model"?  Are there any books on what constitute good "style"?
