I'm not too sure of that after looking at: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/devzseries/ <quote> Improves the productivity for developers to create, maintain, debug and deploy traditional transactional and batch applications to the z/OS(r) platform, while providing additional tools for assisting them in their Web integration efforts. </quote> It also has the ability to open up a "standard" TSO session via TN3270E as well as other 3270 applications, using Host On Demand: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/050 4_barosa/0504_barosa.html I, personally, would really like to have our programmers (the really smart ones) look at this gizmo. Of course, if I read the pricing correctly, it is $5,500 per user. But I could be wrong on that point.
