GUI ScreenIO from NORCOM
=============================================

Last year, we sent a letter to CA-Realia
ScreenIO users informing them that support and
development of CA-Realia ScreenIO had been
turned over to the original developers of
CA-Realia ScreenIO. NORCOM has recently
announced the release of GUI ScreenIO, a
graphical screen manager used to develop true
32-bit Windows applications using CA-Realia II
Workbench.

GUI ScreenIO makes it very easy to develop
Windows applications with COBOL. The
programming interface is similar to, but even
simpler than, the legacy ScreenIO interface.
Better yet, GUI ScreenIO completely hides the
complexity of Windows from the COBOL developer.

GUI ScreenIO also includes a conversion utility
that does most of the work needed to convert
legacy ScreenIO applications to true Windows
applications - including conversion of your
source code.

You can obtain more information about GUI
ScreenIO and download the complete product for
evaluation purposes from NORCOM's web site:
http://www.screenio.com.

Just a note: GUI ScreenIO was developed
completely in COBOL using CA-Realia II
Workbench!
