RE: Green screen to GUI

I know the reason I never got into VARPG is that it's about as
proprietary as can be. I mean, at least folks know BASIC, so if they
wanted to program in VB (for whatever reason), you could find folks
that could pick it up. But...if you're going to develop visual code,
you may as well have a slightly steeper learning curve and use C or
Java. After all, the RPG syntax isn't all that special...
