Thank you for keeping this

Great! Still in use today at some retailers like Costco and Best Buy!

  3270 is a very efficient form of distributed computing where terminals and their controllers control a lot of state and the mainframe is in charge of the more important things. It was a browser from the 60’s, mostly 70’s.

    There are packages available that screen scrape 3270 streams and reformat them to export as html.

  Close! Costco is 5250, which has many similarities.
  They are a very famous AS/400 shop.
