Folks, read her post -- she mentioned Vista in her query. But consider this another vote for a good, solid piece of software.
I've seen and used dozens of tn3270 clients. Most are pretty well the same, though you'll learn to hate specific features in some of them. I would thus STRONGLY recommend trialing several, and trying the tasks you need, such as macros, upload/download (some of them make the dialogs infernally confusing -- make sure you try it with specified formats such as F 80, which some make VERY hard to specify), SSL, etc. That might sound obvious, but given how similar they all are, it's easy to shrug and say "Yep, looks like a 3270 to me" and move on too quickly. One anti-recommendation: Extra! has sucked pretty badly IMHO for a very long time. Buggy and flaky. Haven't been forced to use it lately, but I spent a week at a customer site and found pretty quickly that typing over about 30wpm caused it to GPF. Boy, did that make for a looong week... At least we've stopped seeing new tn3270 products showing up at SHARE -- for a while there, every drug-addled CEO seemed to think it was a new market, and every SHARE there would be two or three new ones, most of which were never seen again. -- zMan -- "I've got a mainframe and I'm not afraid to use it" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
