8:00 p.m. Feature presentation, Cory Hamasaki Kiyo Design, Inc, Redwood CASE
Tool for S/370
About the program:
Cory has been working on REDWOOD, a 32 bit native OS/2 application. REDWOOD is
a CASE
tool for S/370 mainframe applications. It is written in C/C++ using IBM CSet++
2.1,
Hockware VisPro C++, and Object Desktop 1.5.
REDWOOD addresses Year 2000 issues on S/370 mainframes. It finds dates in EBCDIC
data
files. Maps the data to a report, DSECT, struct, STRUCTURE, or FD. It essentially
decompiles data in to source programs.
REDWOOD is Version 0.65 Beta and generates COBOL, C/C++, PL/I, and some S/370 assembly
language.
Topics of discussion:
1) The Year 2000 problem in general, how it applies to PC's and OS/2
2) Why REDWOOD is hosted on OS/2
3) How I use the OS/2 environment, Object Desktop, VisPro, and CSet to create a
commercial application. I can bring in a computer and show the build process and
how
the environment and tools interact.
4) The status and plans for REDWOOD and why I've spent a year working on it. I
can
demonstrate the REDWOOD beta including source code generation.
Cory Hamasaki is a consultant and proprietor of Kiyo Design, Inc. an OS/2 only
store in Annapolis MD.
