    Does anyone here have experience with the CTC Bridge? I have a client that has some features configured that we need to modify, and they have very little expertise. And neither do I. Thanks in advance.

    I have a little bit of quite old experience with it, and I have a copy
    of the Java-based version, but am happy to try and assist.

    I assume they are using one of the network versions rather than
    poll-select -- I only raise this because you never know what kind of old
    stuff is still out there.

    Is their issue communications-based or presentation-based (forms mode,
    control character options, that sort of thing)?

    Yes Paul. Network version. They are utilizing a feature in the tool that does screen scraping on a group of stations. They moved some new stations onto the system that should be doing the screen scraping, and they aren't working. I'm just looking for some direction.

    This sounds like some sort of add-on to the standard terminal emulator product, or perhaps some feature in Core's MultiBridge server product.
    I'm not familiar with it. The first step probably is to figure out
    exactly what they have. It might be best to move this conversation to
    email -- paul dot kimpel atsign digm dot com.
