Leif,

I think this is what IBM intends.  The midrange community should grab this
as a cost savings argument for designing and developing new applications to
replace our legacy green screen applications.  Instead of continually
patching and extending our old applications we need to move to the
current/future generation of user interaction (web).  We have saved money
and time by skipping over the Windows interface, but its time to move on.
If we continue to fight for 5250, we have guaranteed the demise of our
favorite platform.

Regards,
Stan
