Normally you would run it in a "DOS" window (i.e. the Command Console
window). You can use a Telnet client if it emulates the DOS window, but
there aren't many that do. However, since the cost is the same (we license
by user count) you're better off running on the PC rather than as a client.
You can still access remote databases and use remote screens (i.e. use
PROCLOC to point to a network drive).
I wrote an article in SupportLink a few months ago about this.

Does the "green screen" run in a dos window or via telnet or in a regular
window?

The "green" screen capability, in other words QUICK, is now available for
order on Windows NT/2000/XP. It's version 8.41 and was officially released
June 23.

I have used PH 8.24 on W2K against a SQL Server 2000 database via MS ODBC
AND RMS and DB2 databases via Connx ODBC.
Points:
1. no 'green' screen available until the new version comes out (soon?). The
Quick engine is for design purposes only and meant to be run under PH Web.
The response time is pretty good though, especially as we had users
connecting to the PH Web forms over 56k modems from across the country.
2. QTP works fast and well connecting to all the above data sources.
3. Quiz performance against SQL Server sucks. However you can improve
performance by incorporating embedded SQL and database stored procedures.
For reporting I'd recommend converting to Impromptu except for the rare
circumstances where only Quiz will do.
The version due out soon has 'green' screen capability. I don't know if
Reflection supports W2K as a server though.
Good luck,
Blue

One of my clients has a single PowerHouse app on an old HP3000 running
MPE/iX v 7.0. The client is part of a large multi-national who want to
move away from the HP3000 platform. However, we find that PH does the
job well and the client is very reluctant to spend a whole heap of
dollars re-writing the app which would end up doing what it does now
but at higher cost and possibly lower reliability. Although it's a
single app, it's a core system handling high revenue. One thought I
have is to move to PH on a Windows NT/W2K server platform, possibly
using the Eloquence database (PH version due late this year?).
My questions: what is your experience with running PH on Win NT/2K? I'm
particularly interested in performance, reliability, interface to
printers. What databases are you using?
The client is happy to continue with text-based screens - they
currently use WQR Reflection which gives the users plenty of options
for customising the display etc. Can the PH/Win NT combination also be
customised in this way without going to Axiant or PH Web?
Any other observations or thoughts welcome!
Thanks,
