Thanks that seems to be a great way to define the balance we are looking
at. To answer questions of size. So far there are 5 or 6 major classes.
In the end there will probaly be more. The 5250 is a funky machine. It
is used to connect to the AS\400. So it is a propritary, true
Mini-Computer (though now you can hardware as beefy as most mainframes)
with a long history. It is screen based, which is closer in
implementation to a web based app then to any PC/Unix console I have
seen.

Gentlemen, [the equation  e^(i*pi) + 1 = 0 ] is surely true, it is
absolutely paradoxical; we cannot understand it, and we don't know what
it means. But we have proved it, and therefore we know it must be truth.
