TN BRIDGE Host Integration Pack 3.5 is a set of components and productivity tools to extend and take advantage of already developed and tested screen-oriented host applications. It provides full connectivity to IBM S/390 and AS/400 systems through standard telnet protocol.

Offering a set of 100% .NET managed code (ActiveX and Borland's Delphi-native components also available), it allows development under the most popular development environments and programming languages like Microsoft® Visual Basic, VB.NET, C#, ASP, ASP.NET and Borland's Delphi 6 thru CodeGear's Delphi 2007.

Extending legacy applications with Host Integration Pack is much more profitable than starting all over again. It does not requires any kind of extra code in your host, allowing reuse of the already tested and developed host applications.

With Host Integration Pack you won't need to learn about complex communication protocols nor low level API's. Projects development-time are measured in days, not months. Your end-users will obtain new applications in a familiar and more friendly environment, reducing training time and increasing their's productivity.

Host Integration Pack offers a simplified non-event-driven programming model, making most of developments much easier. However, it still allows low-level access and event-driven programming, more suitable for developing complex applications.

Includes a productivity environment that helps during the design and development-cycle of host-integrated applications. This tool drastically reduces the training curve and testing time.

Through OHIO Interface, now an integrated feature of TN BRIDGE Host Integration Pack, you can run an OHIO application without having an emulation session running, you can concentrate on the application functions, without worrying about structure packing details or parameter command codes. OHIO also has all the benefits of the object oriented programming paradigm because it was designed as an object oriented API.

Host Integration Pack offers a powerful XML interface to the host, enabling a fast path to integrate with XML Web Services, applications in Microsoft's .Net architecture, J2EE applications, or interact with robust applications including IBM's WebSphere and Microsoft's BizTalk Servers.
