It would be nice to have a clearer definition.  Some documents from IBM make
reference to a software component called the "workstation manager".  For
example, I'm looking at a diagram right now that describes how IBM's new
Webfacing interface works.  It shows an arrow pointing from a rectangle
labeled "Host Application" to a rectangle labeled "Workstation Manager".  I
suspect that any application that uses the "Workstation Manager" is subject
to the CPU limits enforced by CFINT.

Here's a quote from the Webfacing article:

"The converted host application will support both a 5250 and a Web
interface.  This dual support is enabled by a low-level switch in the SLIC
layer of OS/400 architecture.  If the application interface is a 5250
display, the data coming from the Workstation Manager is integrated into a
5250 data-stream in the format defined by the display file DDS.  If a Web
browser interface is being used, the data from the Workstation Manager is
fed into a Java bean which fills the dataspaces in the JSP."

Maybe Workstation Manager is a key to this puzzle.
