From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
First post on GEMBASE. I've been using it for about a year and a half and thought it would be good to share my knowledge with the rest of the world. Luka milisa 10:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Ross Systems is now a part of the Chinese company cdcsoftware.com (IIRC, stock symbol CHINA). Gembase is the 4GL in which their ERP system has been developed. The 4GL was also used by (Edinburgh based) Kingston SCL to develop a cellular billing system which, amongst others, had France Telecom as a client.
- The 4GL can be run on a variety of Unix platforms as well as Windows and OpenVMS. Unix and OpenVMS versions support a dumb terminal mode where VT control characters are used to build menus and displays. Where the client is a Windows PC there is a thin and thick client that gives a GUI appearance to the application. A recent development is the iBrowser component which allows the application, via use of a .NET framework, to run within a MSIE browser window. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.243.188.216 (talk) 17:29, 29 December 2006 (UTC).
