Every RPG program that uses a display file has this underlying screen
description.  I don't know about you, Leif, but all of my clients use
display files in their RPG programs.  PSC400 works with any program that
uses a display file, and does it by generating pure HTML.  There's a little
bit of JavaScript for some of the more advanced functions, and that's it.
No ActiveX, no COM, no applets, no thick client.

Does ETK or twincentric convert any arbitrary RPG program to use the web?
I've gone to the twincentric site, and can't tell what it does.  Net.Visual
uses COM objects.  GL.Visual uses ActiveX.  That doesn't sound like HTML to
me.
