Yes. Increasing numbers of users, particularly the senior decision 
makers, simply don't log in. They want to get reports, use screens, etc 
on their PC, via mail/browser. In the absence of affordable PH web, we 
achieve this (from VMS) by a combination of DCL, Quiz, QTP, C, Pascal.
If they could use Quick screens on their PCs without having to see the 
VMS environment, Powerhouse would be far less marginalised.

Doing it now (web). No plans (yet) for Unix/Linux.

Yes.

Probably - if not now then soon.

Not in the short term.
