Introducing VPLUS/Windows by Cory Cooper Commercial Systems Division HP VPLUS/Windows is a Microsoft Windows-based user interface for VPLUS applications. It offers a number of significant advantages and benefits to VPLUS programmers and end users. VPLUS/Windows allows existing VPLUS applications to take advantage of the productivity benefits of the Microsoft Windows user interface. By operating as a Microsoft Windows application, VPLUS/Windows enables users to take advantage of a graphical user interface and a high performance alternative to terminal emulators for HP 3000 OLTP applications. VPLUS/Windows provides features such as cut and paste, context sensitive help and the ability to run multiple VPLUS applications concurrently. VPLUS/Windows is completely compatible with the VPLUS and Hi-Li intrinsic sets. This means that applications coded for VPLUS or Hi-Li will run, without modification, on all block mode terminals, terminal emulators or under VPLUS/Windows on a PC. However, VPLUS/Windows is not a terminal emulator. All applications running under VPLUS/Windows must use only VPLUS or Hi-Li intrinsics for their user interface. The HP 3000 requires the VPLUS/Windows software (HP36393A). Each PC will require MS-DOS (version 3.2 or later), and Microsoft Windows (version 3.0 or later). VPLUS/Windows should run on any PC that is capable of running Windows 3.0. A PC LAN environment is required for the operation of VPLUS/Windows. The LAN environment consists of HP EtherTwist, HP StarLAN 10, or HP ThinLAN Network PC Link running HP OfficeShare (any B.XX.XX release).
