Re: Best webifier for green screen applications


I've always considered HATS to be a "stepping stone technology" and not a
destination technology.


Call it "stepping-stone", "interim", "stop-gap", "make-shift",
"provisional", or whatever. Each of those terms is being overly generous to
every screen-scraping product out there. Transforming 5250 streams into
browser DOM objects makes the UI worse - not better, IMHO. You're adding
something like 30-100 times more CPU overhead, something like 20 times more
bandwidth, and reducing the productivity of end-users.

​The reason I mentioned Profound's Genie (stepping stone) is they also have
a graduation path to ProfoundUI​ (new apps).


Wouldn't an "open access" interface be a stepping stone for virtually any
screen-scrapping interface - Genie, HATS, Presto, whatever? Wouldn't the
migration path be essentially the same for all?
