Re: Old 36 Display Files

Bill,

You are correct.  Those OCL brain cells haven't been used in quite a while.  :)

When we had a S/36 we would compile the programs as MRT-NEP with 1 user and use
the multiple procedure approach.  This made hopping between order entry, 
customer
inquiry and item inquiry real fast.

We did it for every interactive program, so in my brain it's "the way to do it".
