Hi everyone,

Sorry about the slightly offtopic posting, but this might be of  
interest to one or the other developer on this list, especially if  
you’ve ever had to deal with legacy integration. We’re announcing a  
new framework today that’s designed to facilitate bringing mainframe  
application to the Web. Basically COGS allows you to hook up old  
legacy console based applications to a modern browser based  
environment without sacrificing user acceptance.

Features:

```
* fully functional F-Keys
* full character set support (EBCDIC and ASCII, A-Z)
* burned in monochrome screen (currently green, next version will

```

also support amber)  
\* based on RHT design pattern (Report-Host-Terminal)  
\* random monitor flicker

Check it out!
