First, Yes - it would be of interest. Now comes the difficult bit - we have had a full function web interface (not yours I am afraid) for some years now but it has never taken off because of the effort of webifying legacy applications. We have only a couple of applications that are written for it. Part of this may be down to the particular web interface we use where the controls for implementing a new application seem like a black art. Mainly this is because most applications are created by users and this would need to be much easier for them to do. Now, if there was a web interface that could allow users to log on & provide a general purpose CMS interface that was nice to use and, at the same time, handle fullscreen interfaces from legacy applications (mainly DMS/CMS & full screen xedit but also ISPF, fullscreen CMS & IOS3270) then we would be talking.
