I did use the s3270 piece of x3270 package to write a server application on Linux/390, serving 3270 screens as Perl/Tk screens on my PC. Currently I am working on to see if I could get a pretty formatted HTML, so I could get the client piece on a browser.
I did use perl and perl/expect to write the application. x3270 is an IBM 3270 terminal emulator for the X Window System s3270 is a scripting-only version of x3270 You could download it at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/7814/downloads.html Samy Rengasamy. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Raulerson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 8:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Block Mode Terminal and Terminal Server Programs I wish. :) While it is not difficult to port the silly stuff to using just plain jane HTML (well, with a little javascript thrown in) it is a real trade off on whether it is more efficient or not. Parsing return values from a terminal screen is quite a bit less costly than decoding and parsing HTML query strings. At least I think it is. What I really want is a block terminal emulator for Linux and a matching client piece. Looks like I am going to have to write the doggon thing.
