It's supposedly an IETF RFC for a "Open Host Interface Objects"
submittal, an attempt to standardize on one interface for
"screen-scraping" or as they put it, "host access". I can't find a
single piece of information on IBM or Attachmate's websites. To confuse
matters, the IETF site doesn't contain information about it nor does the
schedule for the TN3270WG meeting in Chicago this week, at which this
proposal is supposed to be made.

Does anyone know anything about this? Or is this pure vapor?
