The flagship software package Flynet Viewer allows you to graphically integrate and transform your IBM, UNIX and VMS screens into fully fledged web services, web applications and a whole raft of other exciting forms. Using Flynet Viewer Studio, the development environment for Flynet Viewer, you can graphically build tasks that reflect how you work with your screens.

In addition, Flynet Viewer includes a powerful customisable terminal emulation that works in a web browser. You can access your host systems securely over the web. This traditional looking emulation can be intermixed with web-style forms created in Flynet Viewer Studio.

Whether you are looking to redesign the look of your host screens or you wish to build transactions for other systems or developers to use, you start working with Flynet Viewer in the same way. With the aid of drag and drop you show Flynet Viewer the tasks you wish to create.

Once you have created these tasks you can expose them as visually appealing web applications, web services or programmable objects. All of this can be achieved without altering the host application(s) or writing a single line of code.
