Whether the application needs a command line interface in addition to the NEXTSTEP GUI, or the application is an intermediate step while moving legacy applications to a Client/Server (NEXTSTEP) environment, Zion's palettized terminal emulation objectware will fit the bill. You don't have to throw away your valuable data and supporting mainframe or mini software just because your company is migrating towards client/server. With objectware such as Zion's ZionDECView, your developers can begin building custom terminal based software in a GUI environment, or allow existing software to be accessed from your NEXTSTEP environment.
