Re: VARPG

Well, I've been reading all these VARPG comments - and would like to add
to the confusion - that there is another product put out by ASNA, which
they call AVR -  or ASNA Visual RPG - that works off of .NET and will
give you all the fun you could ever want. 

The thing I liked about it the most was that the IDE used the MSFT
icons, etc., that I was used to. You can do any kind of windows gui
programming you like. Way cool company as well. Unfortunately, OUR
company is trying to get rid of the AS/400/iSeries/etc., so I can't
program in it any more. 

You should try it out! It isn't going away!!

VARPG is installed with CODE/400, and is on that CD.

As I mentioned, we have one application that was written in it years ago
for a company that we subsequently merged with.  I haven't been able to
spend the time playing with it that I'd like.  The app is kind of neat,
but the original authors were using a very old version and were
old-style coders, so I'm not fond of the program itself, which is a huge
monolithic thing.  I can see the potential, though.

I did read the future directions statement, but I'm a little unsure
about what it really means.  If we'll be able to continue using this old
code without too much effort, then we will, but if it's going to need a
major reworking (or a big cash layout) to put it into this projected
tool, we'll have to review our options.
