The WSA still runs fine on Windows/XP. It has more errors than the WSA under OS/2, but is is usable well. What I couldn't get to work here on Windows/XP is the WSA GUI builder, that runs only on OS/2. Creating C/SGUI apps without the builder can be done, with a lot calls to the various DTxxxx commands in REXX for example. But, Guy De Ceulaer and I created also a subroutine to make it easier to create panels without the builder. My CPQUERY too uses that.
GUIWIRE supposes you create the panels with the builder, and only in these conditions can it help you a lot. There is a redbook about it, but GUIWIRE was created later, so it is not described in it. Other of my subroutines are, and an enhanced version of it is it in my GUISKEL package. But, GUIWIRE is much better than GUISKEL. 2010/11/23 Gregg C Levine <[email protected]> > Hello! > Sadly Jeff, I am prepared to admit to nothing.
