 Hi Folks

<VENDOR WARNING ON>

Thought I'd better include that to avoid Tim's wrath :-).

<VENDOR WARNING OFF>

Thanks for the mention John, but for future history's sake (and pride)
I'd just like to correct the impression that the original ScreenJet GUI
development tool set was developed or owned by Millware. Millware were
only the sales and marketing company who distributed ScreenJet and other
products. So with their demise the product came home :-) just in time to
catch November 14th :-(

However John is correct that the original ScreenJet product is a full
GUI development tool for the HP3000 capable of either generating screens
from scratch or of converting VPLUS screens directly into GUI. It was
this technology that we have subsequently developed into the ACUCOBOL-GT
GUI VPLUS Migration Tool Kit.

If you would like to email me off line, I would be happy to supply you
with information on the original product. I would have directed you to
the web site, but only last month we removed most of the marketing
material on it having decided that nobody was likely to be investing in
a pure 3000 solution anymore.

Regards
Alan
