My sol point is there usually coming a day, when IBM creates an enhancement) or improvement and playing catch up usually is more difficult and costly.

"Started" on what? I *loved* WRQ Reflection (at least the version we had
here at Touchtone), and considered it to be the gold standard for
terminal emulation aesthetics. I remember it looking *exactly* like a
*real InfoWindow II* terminal.

I should think that as long as your emulators are connected via TN5250
or TN5250e, they should be fine. All bets are off, however, if they're
connected via some older IBM-proprietary protocol.
