RE: Web-Facing Tool

What is PSC400?
The only thing your web site says about it it can do this and that.

Is there any documentation about it?
What is the whole story behind it?
Is there any demo version or trial version of it?
How easy it is to configure?  How much it cost?
What are the pros and cons of it?
Who can use it?
Is it Java based architecture or C++?
Does it need websphere?
Does it need any other application server?
Why it takes hours to get a true JSP look and feel of 5250?
How many changes are required in RPG or DDS for this tool?
Can it control conditional single page subfiles?

And may be many more ?s.

Thanks

I'm not sure, Phil, except as a quick way to put a pretty face on your old
applications.  It's technically free, but it requires not only WebSphere,
but also a hefty interactive CPW as well.  As far as I know, there are very
few solutions out there that manage to remove the interactive tax.  I
believe Jacada does, but they impose a heavy performance penalty by using a
lot of RMI calls in their server middleware.  The only other tool I know of
that you can see a working demonstration of today is my PSC400 product.

Also, as far as I know, only my product has a true "green screen emulation"
that emulates most typical green screen features through pure HTML (as
opposed to an applet).  That way, you can have a version that requires
virtually no retraining, while still having the option to create a
customized front end with a more "graphical" look and feel - both using the
same RPG program (which, by the way, will still run as an interactive 5250
application if you need it to!).
