RE: Who's doing Web work on iSeries? (was: ASP on AS/400 Apache)

That should great. It is similar in concept to the RPG GUI Extensions
that Export-Ventures came up with to provide a GUI user interface to the
AS/400 (included good old RPG) www.export-ventures.com

They ported TCL/TK to the box and have had it working for a couple of
years. IBM when off on this Java kick, which isn't going anywhere fast
(in my view). But the WebFacing stuff was pretty interesting. And I'm
sure you're is as well.
