Thanks, Jim.  Walden's a good friend (well, as good a friend as you can
have coming from The Dark Side <G>), so I guess I was a little stung,
but we're past that now.

As to PSC/400, it kicks serious butt.  The product is based on my
thin-veneer JSP Model II architecture, and it provides sub-second access
on a LAN and close to that even over dial up.  Yet, unlike most screen
scraper solutions, the screens look like they were designed for the web,
not simply 5250 pages in a browser.

Interestingly, some people want 5250 in a browser (to avoid retraining
costs, for example) and for them we have a pure 5250 emulation mode.
We're even currently testing it as an alternative to 5250 emulation in
handheld devices.
