As a matter of fact, my little Apache/CGI/Perl/Pascal/COBOL project is to
convert our paper form for terminating computer access into an online web
form that sets a flag in our personnel database on the 3000.  Our various
3000 application systems check this flag at startup time to see whether or
not the personal should be allowed in.

Additionally, the CGI will send e-mail to our far-flung campuses so that
humans can remove the terminated employee from various other application
systems that are unable to query the 3000 personnel database directly.

I'm still coding the database update part, but the web form, CGI, and e-mail
part is basically done.
