Trevor: I think you need to take some time and research your assertions ... that statement is fundamentally wrong. Screen scraping uses the 5250 emulator to extract data from a display. Webfacing & Joe's PSC/400 product do not require a 5250 emulator and the nature of the data that is transformed is totally different. If I change the layout of a screen, without changing the underlying data buffer structure, a webfaced application should not require any modification. A screen scraped application, on the other hand, will require modification. I would guess that, if you really wanted to, you could toss away the 5250 version of a program processed through PSC/400. I'm pretty sure you cannot do that with Webfacing, but there's no requirement to have a 5250 emulator available. david
