RE: iSeries vs. Unix vs. SQL Server vs. Oracle

[David Wright <dwright@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, the package looks fine...  It is primarily a web-based or java 
client...  It just does not 'look like excel'...  Some screens are better than 
others (some are obvious scrapes) with drill-downs, etc...

I could only imagine the outcry if it really were green screen :)

David, have you considered using a graphical front end (WebFacing,
JWalk, newLook, PSC/400) to the AS/400 solution?  I have a fairly large
formal wear distributor using my software (PSC/400) with an inhouse
green screen package, and you can't tell the web version from something
developed graphically from the ground up.  That allows you to make use
of your inhouse RPG skills and yet still have all the benefits of a
browser-based interface to your product.

Joe
