The future of filePro... one major one anyway!

[John Esak]

Just want to update this comment... I was assuming you meant by "run on a
thinterm" actually loading the program into the ThinTerm's special third
party software memories... This was probably stupid of me. Sorry. You
probably meant can it run on a ThinTerm running telnet or more likely RDP.
Maybe in your case and AIX telnet.  I think Dave compiles for AIX so yes,
the thing would probably work for you.

It's funny, I think Dave has gotten lots of the "Can it do this?" question
for some very large and hetrogeneous systems. My experience with Dave is
that he is going to set up each client with what they need, even writing
some speicific new things ceertain individuals will need as they come up.
However, for those with a standard Unix app deployed on lots of PCS's
through telnet, or Anzio and telnet, or FaceWin, etc., this solution is a
perfect fit, except that you will be now using Dave's new Review emulator
which is so much more than a typical emulator I couldn't describe it in a
hundred messages.

If you have the need to save/migrate an app into the GUI world, it will be
very worth your while to contact Dave and set up a dialog directly. He is
going to be busier than a one-armed paper hanger in a room full of
alligators... but he can handle it. He'll spend time with you on the phone,
arrange demos, evalutaions, etc. But, I'm sure that at least for awhile this
will be a very personal interaction where you get one hell of a lot of
support for your personal installation and use of the product. He also I'm
sure is going to be flexible in the dictates of licensing and various
innovations he'll have to do vor different situations. h

Again, I tell you, don't jump and fidget at the first prices you hear. Just
keep remembering how much it would cost you to convert to some physical
Windows application... and realize again that once you do foot this huge
cost, you lose the power of filePro that you had before. This gives you the
best of both worlds.
