X3270 is crude, granted. But it is consistent, and it is the only 3270 emulator that covers as many platforms.
I have offered my $HOME/.x3270pro repeatedly (not here), though it is so old that I really don't remember all that is in it ... or why. This much I remember: F keys are PF keys, Alt-1 is PA1, Alt-2 is PA2, and there are several key combinations for "Clear". After that, it gets pretty easy. The toughest part is dealing with the packaging, for which I blame dpkg and RPM. (Don't get me started.) I will happily send a copy off-list. X3270 works on every contemporary platform where X windows works, except maybe USS. (But there is an 'xterm' for USS, so ... who knows?) We're talking all Linux, plus Solaris, HPUX, presumably AIX, and certainly Windows (thanks to CYGWIN, and does not require CYGWIN's X server, but can use Hummingbird or Reflection (since we're talking about Attachmate)). -- R; <>< On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 11:36, McKown, John <john.mck...@healthmarkets.com>wrote: > From my personal viewpoint, I will hope that it means they may see a need > for a more advanced 3270 emulator for the Linux desktop. x3270 works, but is > a PITA to configure, IMO.
