RE: New Development Project - What to do it in?

Booth,

See inline,
 
 The VARPG package can be stored on the IFS and then have only a shortcut on
the user's desktop.  Very slim indeed.

<ED> slim install, but dial-up users in would probably invent new
four-letter-words to describe the performance.


ODBC?  I am not sure about that.  I thought it was DDM with tcp/ip.  In any
event, I have no idea how to use or set up ODBC and have never configured it
 yet I use VARPG to access iSeries files regularly.  If ODBC is used, its
pretty well hiddedn.  Performance is faster than I think of for ODBC.

<ED> probably..... I haven't actually ever written a test app, so I'll
concede this point.  I know DDM over TCP/IP was not available the last time
I looked at VARPG seriously, so maybe I just assumed that ODBC was the data
access mechanism.
