3996.0. "DECforms for Microsoft Windows" by PRSSOS::TEBOUL () Tue May 06 1997 11:34

    Hello,
    
    A customer is asking me about DECforms and PC.
    He wants to develop an application using Visual Basic and DECforms.
    
    Reading the Programmer's Reference Manual, it looks like being able
    using the Portable API.
    
    Could you help me to answer some questions ?
    
    Is the any kit 'DECforms for Microsoft Windows' ?
    
    1) What are the components i need to set on my PC and where can
       i find them ?  (Dll files (16/32 bits), VB Header File, DECforms
    	Runtime....)
    2) Do i need to develop the form under MOTIF or can i use a DECforms's Tool
       on my PC ?
    3) Any examples ?
    
    Thanks for your help,

    Alain,
    
    Unfortunately, the original DECforms-PC project was cancelled due to
    economic conditions at Digital during that period.  However, the team
    is currently investigating NT and Web projects for it's next
    development cycle.  We'd encourage customer input on requirements for
    any NT based, or Web-enabling solution that DECforms could offer.
