COBOL ON COGS
- edw519 18y agolol - well done! I've often teased my "green screen" clients that I could rewrite all their software to run in a browser. (It's not really that much of a stretch.) What would really be impressive on OP's webpage would be F keys and Esc that worked as advertised in the text. It's really not that hard to coopt them from the browser.
- henning 18y agoThere are very strong parallels between a web app without Ajax/Comet and a 3270 terminal application.
- gaius 18y agoDo you remember when Netscape Navigator used to include a 3270 emulator?
- rbanffy 18y agoWell... I miss my 3278 font a lot. I can't find anything that's really close enough. I remember the numbers were slightly taller than letters. I wonder if someone has the original pixel maps floating around.
- swilliams 18y agoI do love how INDEX.HTM is all caps.
- Locutus 18y agoCheck out the screen burn-in! LOL!
- mhartl 18y ago...for those who missed it last April 1.
- khafra 18y ago...and here I'd just been wishing for Prolog on a Pogo Stick, and Malbolge on a Minefield.
- mynameishere 18y agoLaugh all you want. I remember when the terminal connections to mainframes and vaxen were being replaced by websites in the mid-to-late 90s. It was astonishing just how much worse websites could be.
- gaius 18y agoYeah, those old developers would think about what their users were doing - for example, moving between fields would happen in a sensible order, NOT just in the order the HTML was laid out in. Those old apps might look clunky to modern eyes but really, they were polished to a degree that rarely happens these days.
