Rob,

I was aware that IBM discontinued support for Workstation Gateway, but was UNAWARE that it could be modified. I had the idea (perhaps erroneous) that WSG mapped 5250 data streams to HTML - but did it transparently - without programmer control. Can you clarify that? Where were you when the web-5250 topic was discussed on this list - just before Christmas?

Are you planning on writing your own version of Workstation Gateway, using CGIDEV2?

Nathan.
