    Four! What It's Worth!

    ** This thread discusses the article: Four! What It's Worth! **
    Personally, here's what I think would be ideal. First, move the RPG component back to the as/400 using a pre-compiler similar to what is used for sqlrpg or the older auto-report to make the difference between ILE rpg and VARPG. Second, take the XULRUNNER component from the Mozilla project and define the user interface in "XUL". The result should be easily portable from the old VARPG, the technologies involved are under long term maintenance for other purposes anyway, including native look and feel on any version of windows, linux, os/2, aix or a dozen other platforms without any extra work from the Toronto team. The only real reason I can see that IBM might not want to do this, is that the most reasonable way to build the bridge between ILE RPG and the XULRUNNER user interface would be a plain sockets based link which would bypass both websphere and hats.
