Re: Form - just want to understand

1. It is my understanding that Oracle has dropped all support for character mode interfaces.
2. Look into the developer/2000 server. It takes the Forms 4.5/5.0 FRX files and rebuilds them in JAVA and serves them to the users. I'm hoping that the new Forms 6.0 will output Java files directly.
