Greetings,

I have been asked to provide something for a client that I don't know if it is possible, and if it is, what the problems would be.

The client wishes to have an application developed in Forms 4, but the application will only be used on character based terminals, like VT220/Wyse etc.

My question to the assembled wisdom of the Group is.

  1. Can a GUI application like Forms 4 be converted to simulate a Forms 3 look?
  2. If it can be done, what are the pitfalls and possible problems? asides from developing the form with a standard font?

I look forward to resolving this vexing question.

BTW, I have RTFM as far as I could, and I have not seen this subject mentioned anywhere, which doesn't necessarily mean it's not there, just that I haven't seen it.

Thank you all in advance,
