Re: Communication/display box Problem When Migrating from SQR 3.0 to 4.0

[Albert Howard <starbukk@concentric.net>]

This is somewhat confusing because the SQR 3 that I'm using has the DOS
communication box. You said "SQR3.0 from Powerbuilder...perhaps they had a
special "Powerbuilder" version?  Becuase the "mainstream" SQR process uses
that wonderful DOS communication box..mainly because its really a DOS
program that is pretending to be a Windows program.

SQRW is nothing but a front end package that turns around and executes a
dos program behind the scenes.  Thus the dos communication box.
