Re: Best webifier for green screen applications

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...

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.
