Yes, the Image libs on ux seem pretty good....up to a point.
We have converted some block mode screen handling C code reading/writing
Image sets VERY quickly from MPE to UX.
Caveats so far----only @ list read/writes supported, no partial lists, and
64 bit libs not supported . We are using gcc 3.01. - seems the latest I
could see that had 32 bit libs. Once we went there, the links worked and the
code goes. The DBEXPORT and Import stuff is also easy to use. Query leaves
something to be desired. The Eloquence Basic also has quite a few drawbacks
compared to HP MPE BBX, and we are just starting to evaluate the built in
screen handler for how it compares to our traditional screen usage -
Block/Line/format one field at a time, and usage of multiple pages of
memory, push down scrolls etc.
We have used C code that either builds the screen layout from hard coded
data (literal "xyz" at row,col, unprotected field x long at row, col), or a
screen stored in a file (1 variable asci record per screen line, complete
with esc sequences), and they are quite portable - work on both systems with
practically no changes.
Unfortunately, the bulk of our code is still Bas/V and BBX......anybody got
a Bas/V to C converter???
