Package: c3270
Version: 3.3.7p7-1
While I would assume that the c3270 program has more capabilities in
release 3.3.7p7-1 (Lenny version) than it did in release 3.3.4p6-3.3
(Etch version), the man page is much smaller. Compare the size of the
man page in 3.3.4p6-3.3 with the size of the man page in 3.3.7p7-1.
Much valuable information has been deleted. The official site web
version of the man page can be found at http://x3270.bgp.nu/c3270-man.html.
(This is the man page for version 3.3.8p1.) It may need some modifications
for the Debianized version, such as path names to the ibm_hosts file,
etc., but otherwise is much more like what the man page in Debian should be.
By the way, bug number 485967 still needs to be addressed; so while you
are fixing the man page, it would be a good idea to fix this bug too. :-)

Today, 12 years later, c3270's manpage looks pretty comprehensive and the
web version disappeared. If there's still anything missing I'd suggest
raising it with the upstream maintainer on https://github.com/pmattes/x3270.
Kind regards and thanks
