Newface

OK - Can you tell I'm completely out of my depth here? :)

Have you heard of newface?

We have a client with a K-Class [10.20]
He wants to go to an L-Class [11i 32-bit]
He wants to write a wrapper to enable him to continue using newface under 11i

POSSIBLY DUFF INFORMATION:
The idea of Newface is to achieve a certain screen appearance as was available under HP3000 with MPE/iX

QUESTIONS:
Is my client's wish achievable?
Any one done it?
Why are we all here?
Where's my stick?

Mike,

I did a Google search and found this:

http://www.batl.com/newface.html

The Newface software looks like a terminal emulation package which makes everything look like a GUI.

Cheers John

At least I now understand what the product is
Has anyone any experience of using the product with 11i?

[I emailed a couple of NewFace suppliers yesterday & heard zilch back]

Robert-Jan:
Thank you

One & all:
How about if I generalise the question somewhat?
Any potential product outside of NewFace?

TTFN

Mike,

If you have a user who has it set in stone that they must run "this" application, you will have better luck removing the wiggle from jello than you will of getting them to change their mind.

Best bet is to try and demo the application yourself on an 11i box, or as you already have done contact the company.

Good luck ;)

Shannon
