Don't know about that, but we have just extended ScreenJet Designer to
support VPLUS as used in Transact (we already covered HILI) so you can
add a GUI to that too, now.

A termulator approach, so a user would need to have the (free) client
beforehand; nevertheless it does run in a browser.

Maybe not on a WAP phone, though..... :-)
