Hi Pete;

I'm not familiar with your "web5250 stuff", but I have come across some
request in that directions.

Is it possible that we can bundle it into the soon coming open-source of
IceBreak?



Best regards

"On my TODO list I have an intention to dig into the TN5250 and TN5250J
projects to see how they evaluate the 5250 stream and eventually
render it
to the client. "

There was one guy on the tn5250j list that was doing some on the fly
rendering of a more graphical interface, similar to screen scraping,
using tn5250j. I learned more than I wanted to when I wrote the web5250
stuff, rendering 5250 directly into the browser (no plugin needed, just
a browser, since it was producing "pure" html).

Do take a look at tn5250j. It is fairly well structured code. Recently
there was an Italian firm that was talking about picking up the loose
ends and running with it, since it has languished in the last 2 or 3 years.
