Regardless of the license on x3270, you can look at the code to reverse engineer / document the protocol. If you write your code "from the ground up", then you can license it however you want. It's only if you "borrow" code from x3270 that you need to worry about its license. -- 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.
