Re: xwindows development with Oracle Applications

Steven,

1. Why do you want to go to the HP version of Dev2K? Develop on 95/98 and ftp your files (fmb and rdf) to the HP and re-generate from the command line. (you don't even have to the rdf files).
2. If you insist on X-windows etc, Humming bird is expensive . A very good shareware product is Xmanager from netserang (www.netserang.com) (US $69)
