# CICS BMS UI builder
|
|
|
|
A version of this script reduced the amount of work I had to do in one of my
|
|
COBOL classes so much I could spend the rest of my time in that class
|
|
~grabbing MP3s using Napster~ ~practicing rocket jumping in Quake~
|
|
studying for my British Literature class.
|
|
|
|
[Read the comic](https://rabbitwith1000repos.com/comics/009-language-learning/)
|
|
that inspired this project!
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
* Install [Perlito 5](https://github.com/fglock/Perlito)
|
|
in an adjacent directory and
|
|
[build the Perl 5 Node compiler](https://github.com/fglock/Perlito/blob/master/README-perlito5.md).
|
|
* [Perlbrew](https://perlbrew.pl/) makes that a lot easier.
|
|
* Install Node 14 (I suggest [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)) and
|
|
`npm install`.
|
|
* Run `npm run dev`.
|
|
* Open [http://localhost:8080](https://localhost:8080) and
|
|
type in your advanced terminal UI.
|
|
|
|
## Why?!?
|
|
|
|
Because who doesn't want to use Node to compile Perl for use
|
|
in the browser to build UIs for an [ancient mainframe technology?](http://www.mftutor.com/cics/bms/bms-macro/dfhmdf/)!?
