Re: JWT (was: Upcoming Spring 2021 RPG enhancements)

Arpeggio Software wrote a jwt interface for us a while ago, but I don't know if they had plans to release it to the public. I don't see it listed on their web site. It was a service program with a bunch of CLE modules.

Agreed that IWS can't - although I believe it is high on their wish list. But as noted yesterday ILeastic offers routines for one "flavour" and I use them in my RPG routines that talk to Zoom APIs.
