First,  many thanks to all who responded, both directly and on list.

Secondly,  this migration is not driven strictly by HP's 
discontinuance of the 3000 line.  Our goal is not simply to continue 
to run existing applications on a supported platform, but to enable 
easier development of web applications with standard tools, give our 
in-house users a GUI interface which can be customized to meet their 
needs, and allow (read) access to our extended customer base via the 
Internet.

Our Board's philosophy regarding data entry, processing and storage 
has shifted from a 'mainframe' mentality to a server-based system, 
using non-proprietary DB's and tools.  IMO, they are listening to PC 
and Mac users who claim "I can do all this in 5 minutes on my PC - 
why can't CFA give me the same info via the web?"

Moving with the times...
