Webfacing is not the only solution.  PSC/400 will also convert interactive
programs to run in batch, thereby removing the interactive requirement.
Converted programs can be run in our exclusive 5250 emulation mode, which
requires no programmer intervention and no user retraining, and we can
convert your system literally overnight.

Not only that, but PSC/400 doesn't require a big, powerful PC - you can use
whatever HTML editing tools you are most comfortable with, or even a text
editor.  Your RPG programmers need no HTML or Java knowledge, and the
converted applications can still run interactively in case you have a few
old twinax tubes lying around <grin>.

For more information on PSC/400, try our website:

there's a nice PDF brochure put out jointly by Pluta Brothers and one of our
clients.  You can see it at http://www.plutabrothers.com/picspsc.pdf.
