RE: New GUI for green on black...

Hello Chris

That is the reason I started the project is because I could not find a java
api.  Meaning I wanted access to the 5250 datastream (from linux as well)
but the companies I contract for do not have all the other packages nor do
they plan on getting them.  The run liscenses are really expensive.

Looking at the new400 magazine I have here on my desk there are some really
good alternatives out there.

I am sure you will find a lot out there.

Good hunting


Kenneth
