Does this type of access to a SAS application raise any liscensing issues?
Has SAS Institute said anything about SAS being used in this way?  We
have a number of SAS programs our users run on the mainframe.  I'd like
to port them down to a PC platform but licensing costs would be prohibitive
(one license for every possible user in the universe which then expires after
12 months).
