Your welcome ... It has come a LONG way. Up to version 2.x something now. I have written what amounts to s "SCREEN" screen handling routine and MENU for it (in C). Was working on a native MVISAM (multi value ala PICK) for it as well, till my $$ ran out ... If I could say "what would be a good replacement for COBOL?", I would say S-lang with a native ISAM file handler and an EMBEDED Screen section. Tim Josling wrote:

It has a COMPLETE screen handling function that IMHO, is superior to ncurses in some respect. Since it has a interpretor already, It could be a GOOD place to start for a COBOL environment. In some ways, it already resembles a COBOL environment.I've used s-lang in the past, a long time ago. This would be an alternative when I get to that point. Thanks for the suggestion - I;ve put it in the ideas section of the changelog so I won't forget. Regards, Tim Josling
