It is very stable and works well. What "sucks" for me is the font and keyboard handling. Selecting a font is a royal pain. I finally got an .x3270pro file from another person which maps the keys the way that I work. I guess both of these are to be expected in a native X application. I'm too ruined by application which use the Qt, GTK+, and KDE gui toolkits. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
