Well, no, the best would be for some really good programmer to take their product and use a "cross platform" GUI toolkit. I have considered the possibility of taking the x3270 source code (love Open Source) and seeing if I could make it into a Qt program (Qt is a windowing toolkit by Trolltech). Unfortunately, I have run into some problems, including but not limited to (1) lack of understanding of the TN3270 protocol; (2) lack of understanding the Qt toolkit; (3) lack of talent. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
