Mike,

We seemed to drop your thread over the weekend, but it left me kind of 
curious about your thoughts regarding refacing, vs. adopting some kind 
of Web-services bridge to 5250 applications, vs breaking out business 
logic from your 5250 programs and putting it in callable procedures 
[then adopting some kind of Web services interface].

I listened to Zend's 5250 bridge Webcast, featuring Jon Paris, but it 
left me thinking, okay they have something of a bridge, but is it really 
applicable to web services, or just another refacing idea.  You gave me 
the impression that refacing was not viable by your opinion that HATS 
and Webfacing were flops.

Just curious.

Nathan.
