There was a company in Canada whose name eludes me at the moment.  they
were selling some front end stuff for C and COBOL which was rather nice,
and they had also done some very nice things with VPLUS.  Granted it was an
add-on, but it was fast and pretty straight forward to use.  I did a review
of it for Interact a number of years ago, but since I don't have an Interex
membership I can't search their online archives.  If anyone is interested,
then should start checking the archives from at least 3 years ago.

At the last HP World, HP shrugged off that enhancement. I don't see it
being
done by them. Anytime in the near future.
