(NT): Interpreter writer needed ? <was>Re: So how do we get the list moving?

[Ben Duncan]

But ....

I have an Idea for a PROJECT. Something that can replace what AppGen WAS.
Which is/was a "cradle to grave" business environment.

Now, I am an Applications person, and Am getting lost in trying to figure
out all the in's and outs of what a "interpreter" does.

My Idea: Take something like PYTHON or Euphoria, the --SYTEM(s)-- not the
language. Modify them to replicate what AppGen is doing. Create some sort
of OSS for storing the screens/reports/scripts in a presentation
independent format (which is in essence, what Appgen does now). An reverse
engineer the Applications ... (ok,ok I admit, I already have a C program
that can extract the CORE functions of the appgen applications into a
straight text file ...). Create a WYSIWYG screen painter / report writer
and have a REAL Open SOurce Accounting application system.

Anyone game ?
