Web access > (Java, Javascript) counts. I do not know about Web access to logflash. However, IIRC the sources (Pascal) of LF are available. What you you can try (it *might* work, however I didn't test it) is to get gpc (GNU Pascal Compiler), libs that emulate the conio (DOS screen I/O) for GPC (I suspect that several of them are at least in development), and recompile it for unix. Of course, it needs some hacking. I'm sorry not to have time to do it myself, however I think it is feasible. Good luck, raph PS1: the only tough issue is that logflash was not really designed modularly, and thus a minor functional difference in the conio emulation libraries will make it look very weird. PS2: please remember that the dosemu package is more and more ready to execute dos apps out-of-the-box.
