I have an associate that is working with a large Fortune500 company and is having issues connecting his stuff to "legacy" technology there. Apparently, a company called "Synergex" has a "screen scraper" type program that presents a gui to a windows desktop user from a character based application (VMS or OpenVMS). So if anyone has general expertise with both OpenVMS and the Synergex "GUI on VMS programs" application, drop me a line off list and we'll get you involved. Best, J
