Yes and no. Java isn't quite as functional (you can't, for example,
trap the right control
key - at least not last I checked).
You'd get 95% of the end result by doing so - but then there are plenty
of Java applets for
5250.
Of course, I'm not trying to discourage you, it's certainly useful, but
I swore off Java
when I swore off Windows <g> (Java's not that bad, mind you, I just
think it tries to
solve a political problem with code... Not The Right Approach(tm) )
