Actually, a better question would be: Why does the IBM 5250 emulator  for
Linux exist when there is a very good open source TN5250 client that  has
a fine X interface?

And, FWIW, this project existed well before  IBM released their linux client.

Darn ... I've had a similar discussion  in the past when someone was
questioning why MIDRANGE-L existed when there  was a perfectly good
newsgroup available (of course MIDRANGE-L existed  before the newsgroup did).

Moving back into the  shadows...



Over 30 years with IBM, NCR, UNIVAC, etc. and the who was there first  
continues.  What fun technology ideas, as if we haven't cloned and  experienced 
( 
via code ) the unknown.
