<plug> Ordina provides a tool called edWin that does 2 things that may be of interest to you: 1) it converts the VFORM file into (human & machine readable) XML 2) it implements all VPLUS intrinsics like VOPENFORMF, VGETNEXTFORM, VSHOWFORM etc so that your cobol/C/pascal programs can continue to use them. The new version of these intrinsics uses the XML file rather than the VFORM file. A graphical painter/editor is provided to maintain the forms inside the new environment. Or for the truly brave, you could edit the XML by hand. There's some more info on http://hp3000.ordina-denkart.com/edwin3k.htm If you need any further information, let me know. </plug> Regards Geert * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
