Hi Antonio,
It is true the GUI interface to applications is by far more inviting to =
a=20
lot of people. MS aside (I Don't Use Any MS Products) :) While 95% of th=
e=20
terminals in my office are running X-Windows and are capable of graphica=
l=20
web browsing I also have a number of "OLD" Wyse dumb terminals which are=
=20
currently being used for stock control & order entry. In the long term I=
=20
plan on getting SQL-Ledger to integrate with with my current stock=20
control software. The only role of these terminals is for employees who =

have no need for me to spend money on setting them up with a fully=20
fledged PC. I may upgrade them to X-Terms one day but at this point in=20
time it's easier for me to develop something for SQL-Ledger in my spare =
time.
I also have a client who has a string of these type of terminals on his =

shop floor. I currently have him interested in setting up a Linux box=20
with SQL-Ledger in the future.
Hope that sheds some light on why I'm developing a "Terminal" frontend. =

:)

Please explain why you are creating a terminal frontend to SQL-Ledger. I=

see at MS .net project for example.
