    Abstract: Screens generated by a host application are reformatted for viewing by applying styles to the host screens in response to recognized components included therein. In particular, a style defines a desired look and layout to be applied to a respective host screen. The styles are applied to the respective host screens based on recognizing components of the host screen at run time. For example, first and second styles can be associated with respective first and second components included in host screens. The first style is applied to the host screen in which the first component is recognized and the second style is applied to the host screen in which the second component is recognized. Accordingly, the application of the first and second styles provide respective first and second reformatted screens.

    Abstract: Screens generated by a host application are reformatted for viewing by applying styles to the host screens in response to recognized components included therein. In particular, a system for reformatting a host screen generated by an application and which includes components such as paragraphs or tables, is arranged for determining if an organization of the components in the host screen matches a layout of a reformatted screen associated with one of the predetermined styles, and the reformatted screen is generated automatically by arranging selected components from the host screen according to one of the predetermined styles if the organisation of the components in the host screen matches the layout of the reformatted screen associated with one of the predetermined styles. A terminal emulation data structure may represent a state of interaction in a terminal emulation session provided between a resource and a client, the terminal emulation data structure comprising a first XML tag which represents a present state of interaction between client and resource, a second tag representing output provided by the resource to the client based on the first tag, a third tag representing a next state of interaction between client and resource, and a fourth tag which represents a format for display of data associated with the present state. The interaction can be saved for later execution so that a user can re-apply the same styles to the same host screens in a subsequent session.
