[REBOL] JAKA: Just Another Killer App
From: tim::johnsons-web::com at: 18-Aug-2001 11:57
Now that I have your attention.... here's some thoughts.
I haven't done anything with View yet, but maybe there
is a place for View in POS (Point of Sales).
I'm aware that there are a number of POS applications
written originally for DOS, with Text-Cell style User
Interfaces.
Some users of these are having a lot of problems with
upgrades. Without knowing much about the details, I would
guess that Windows is making it much more difficult to
program "DOS-style" applications.
The developer might be faced with some hard choices,
among those would be:
Write a Windows-style GUI
Migrate to Linux with it's great ncurses support and
resources.
Perhaps it would be worthwhile to investigate a View-based
interface for such an existing app?
I'm personally not interested, because my work takes me
in a different direction, but maybe some one on the
list might be...
