Charles,
I know Tom Brennan's Vista. I even got one from him. For free. (I didn't
ask for it! It was a part of longer story, related to polish codepage).
And I have no doubt he knows there are both 3270 and 5250.
However lurking or peeking is not the best method, especially you
sometimes see that only awhile, from distance.
It has nothing to do with my or Tom's knowledge.
BTW: My wife was really upset when she heard what I found in a store,
instead of jacket...
Regards

My wild guess is that Tom Brennan knows a TN3270 client when he sees one.
@Tom: Was it yours?

To be honest, out of curiosity I always peek the systems in use when
I'm served as customer.
Me too! When I first started going to Kaiser the doctors had
Attachmate running with a long row of PF key buttons across the bottom
of the screen. Years ago they switched to a GUI system. But... in
Southern California there's a beer/wine/liquor store called BevMo and
when I recently asked about a particular bottle, I looked over and the
guy was typing on a TN3270 screen. I guess if something works, why
change it?
Curious: are you sure it is 3270, not 5250? AS/400 family is quite
popular in retail.
I had many false detections.
BTW: Our blood donation system use AS/400 system. Several years ago they
used real (hard) terminals. Now it is PCOMM. However doctor told me
there are plans to replace it with new shining gui&mobile system. As far
as I know they saw some prototype and they are very unhappy about the
change. Current system is simple and even new personnel have no problem
with that. <sarcasm on> The new one will be modern, with all possible
modern features - malware, ransomware, data lost, logic errors,
administrative interface for PFCSKs connected via Internet...
