I'm familiar (either as implementer or at least a demo project) with each
of the products Jon mentioned except Open Legacy. Been to the website. Can
anyone (other than marketing) speak to an actual use. I understand the
requirement for a java app server. Offline if preferred.

Aaron’s already mentioned Profound - Genii is the product you’d need to
screen scrape but Profound UI goes much further.

BCD have Presto as well as tools for building new web apps in RPG or PHP.

Looksoftware, and Rocket both have screen scraping products. Look’s is
probably the most advanced having been around a long time.

There are also many other “scrapers” out there including a “free” one from
Open Legacy but in order for it to be truly free you need to be familiar
with Java and App servers.

I'd skip HATS and start by researching ProfoundLogic's Genie product...

We mainly use Infor LX, and quite a few custom green screen programs in
a
manufacturing environment. There has been some interest in making
everything look GUI. What are some good solutions to get there?
Ideally I
guess I'm looking for something that initially scrapes everything to web
without modification, but also allows some enhancements as time allows
for
concentrating on groups of applications to make the GUI actually worth
more
than the initial interface repaint.

Years ago, I think the thing that came closest to what I was looking for
was IBM's HATS product. I haven't heard much marketing around it
lately,
so I fear that it may be supported, but not enhanced significantly
anymore.
I could be wrong on that, but its difficult to sort through the
marketing
speak to find out how usable it really is. That's why I'm here, asking
for
some overview of what's available and what works with a production
environment.
