FORMS/260 to JOINFORM Migration 

This section describes the migration of HP 260 FORM files into JOINFORM
files.  It also includes a table of FORMS/260 statements and the changes
made to them.

JOINFORM is a FORMS/260 compatible forms package available to HP Business
BASIC/XL. JOINFORM is not available to other languages on the HP 3000.
It is only supported on the HP150, HP 700/9X and HP239X terminals.  It
provides an easy-to-use alternative to VPLUS forms for current HP 260
users.

JOINFORM performance is consistently lower than VPLUS performance; this
is because of MPE architecture.
