Re: Saving the System i: Fight Rather Than Switch

Having an HTTP server does NOT match my definition of GUI.
 I want to be able to (at least start to) GUI'ize my applications by
using the EXFMT keyword...

IBM is looking into it, and that's exactly what Brian Kelly has been calling 
for, during the past couple years (Brian Kelly, the author of the IT Jungle 
article which this thread is named after).

I've considered the idea too, and even wrote an RPG application which performed 
browser I/O using read and write op codes, using a special file, but then 
dropped the idea, mostly because it required the browser interface to be 
precisely in sync with the application interface, which I felt was too 
restrictive.

To each there own, though.

Nathan.
