There are at least 50 correct answers to your question. The easiest IMO is to use the 5250 gateway provided free with all releases starting with V3. The 5250 gateway translates the 5250 datastream into HTML. This allows you to put your apps on the web without any reprogramming. The problem with 5250 gateway is that it is ergonomically challanged. Generally the screens look pretty bad. Substitutions from third parties are available: Webulator, Jacada, and others. The Java based products do a sensational job. David Abramowitz
