Description
C++ development environment and an application generator for OS/2 and MS Windows introduced in 1992, originally written as a tool for developing GUI front ends for the AS/400 software products from the JBA Holding company but was extended into a general business application development tool. You build your application in a GUI designer then write the back end in a proprietary event driven fourth generation language called JOT, Guidelines then generated C++ code and you compiled it with your choice of C++ compatible compiler suite. The system was fully cross development compatible, i.e. software developed on OS/2 could be ported to Windows without any change and the other way around as well. In addition the company offered optional Client/Server back ends for AS/400, Unix SQL servers and ODBC.
While Guidelines did nothing in the OS/2 or Windows marketplaces it survived as an in house tool and was used for most PC system development at the company.
Version
- Guidelines Mod65 - 1995 - There was almost certainly a later version than this but we have not been able to find it.
Prerequisites
One of the following C++ compiler products:
