NeoKicks

NeoKicksTM is designed for migrating CICS applications to the .NET environment, providing a similar system architecture while enabling the applications to take maximum advantage of the modern interfaces and technologies provided by the Microsoft® .NET Framework. You can convert BMS maps into ASP.NET Web page interfaces, yet preserve mainframe style keyboard input. This often allows companies to transform one of the most inflexible parts of their application architecture to a modern, agile architecture.
