I just read Mathemagician's report on INTF. it does seem
to be more than a screenscraper.

One, seemed like a low barrier to entry there. Also, no
evidence of a lock - low switching costs too. Of course this
is all speculation on my part.

Two, premise that most mainframe reports are coded to a
printer device seemed flawed. Mainframes are nothing if not
sophisticated machines and they grock device drivers.
In that respect, INTF smells like a device driver. Either
you scrape the output (screens) or build output (driver).

Three, I still think CTXS will eat their lunch. It's a
very focused competitor. Letting the device mfr do
the job of adapting.

It failed to penetrate my comfort zone. But, nice price
run up. Awshucks!
