However, by adding 50 "interactive" CPW the price raises to $67,000. If base price is the concern, then it seems a lot easier to convert an application to use less (maybe zero) "interactive" CPW, than to port it to another platform. Rather than build an os/400 environment (including native compilers) for Linux, it seems to me that a better alternative would be to build a tool that converts legacy applications to use something other than IBM's 5250 interface.
