Have you developed an application based on the CHARVA library? If so, please send me
a project description, screenshots and/or a project logo and I will insert a link to your
project on this page.
"First I would like to thank you for all the work you must have put into
Charva. It really is a nice idea, implemented very well.... I am using Charva to provide
a text-mode administrative interface for our product which is a Linux-based server....
I decided I would use gcj (the GNU compiler for Java) to create a native executable.
The speed it runs at now is very impressive, you wouldn't know it was written in Java!"
(Nick Liebmann)
"I have been using charva for the past one year and it has turned out to be
the most ideal solution for my project which has an expansive module that
deals with handheld terminals. The TUI for handhelds was done using charva
with least of changes made to the actual charva framework. The product
has gone live in two customer sites and the performance so far has been
extremely good. I would like to thank you for the support during this
period. I would be happy to serve as a reference to anyone who has doubts
on the usability or dependability of charva."
Thanks once again

"This communication is to let you know that for our specific purposes,
CHARVA has proven to be extremely suitable. It is working well and the
system using it will be going into production shortly.
Over a number of years, Fujitsu in Australia
(www.fujitsu.com.au)
has developed and maintained a Train Management System for Pacific National
Limited (www.pacificnational.com.au).
The Train Management System
is supported by Fujitsu's office in Adelaide South Australia (contact 61 8
8305 8500) and manages Pacific National's locomotive, wagon, freight and
container movements around Australia.
Pacific National is the largest private rail freight operator in Australia
with annual operating revenue of more than $1 billion dollars (AUD).
Pacific National operates nationally and has around 3100 staff, 1000
locomotives, 10200 wagons, and 85 sites.
Recently Pacific National requested that Fujitsu add a Container Handling
Module to track container movements for containers in Pacific National's
possession. A component of that module is used by crane and forklift
operators (placing containers on trucks, wagons, etc) who have wireless
networked computer systems in their cabins.
These systems (486's running DOS 6.22) connect to a central server and run
a "CHARVA" based application which interfaces to the main system giving the
operators interactive communications, work orders, status updates, etc.
The actual "charva" application system is quite complex and has real time
screen updates via event callbacks and other advanced java usage. The 486
systems in the cabins have a screen display of only 40 characters wide by 8
lines so we have had quite a challenge getting things to fit (we had to
remove all line drawing capabilities, etc to save screen space).
Thank you for providing such an excellent package.
Yours sincerely,

I found your library VERY useful and well-written; in my application
(Faktotum3, a Cocoon-based application for invoice management) it is the
framework for my setup procedure. Thanks a lot!
I tried your library on Solaris 9 SPARC, Solaris 10 x86, Linux x86 and Mac OS
X Panther: it worked well, but for Mac OS X Panther I had to give the
"-Djava.library.path" switch to the JVM.
