There are two different display modes supported by our 5250 emulator.
They are 80x24 and 132x27. If you're using an appropriate terminal type,
and the AS/400 wants to display something in 132 col mode, the emulator
will display the font_132 font. When in normal 80 col mode, it uses the
font_80 font.
If you want to try this, make a configuration like this:
dsp01 {
host = as400.example.com
font_80=xxx
font_132=yyy
env.DEVNAME=DSP01
# the following is a 132 col capable terminal:
env.TERM=IBM-3477-FC
}
Then: tn5250 dsp01
When the display comes up, it's in 80 col mode. Sign-On and do a STRSEU
and use F13 to change to 132 col mode. Or display a spooled file that
wouldn't fit across an 80-col screen...

Heh... I only did that because it was easy to do :) Glad you like it,
though...

You've already been a great help! The kind of help that I really need is
testers who will tell me what they think. You're doing that job :)

Just copying them to another machine should work fine. In fact, I
deliberately did not use any registry entries or install anything into
/windows/system for this reason.
Only things to keep in mind are:
1) When the .exe starts up, it looks for the DLL. First it looks in
the "current working directory", (or "start in" directory, if
you're using a Windows shortcut) and if that fails, it searches
your path. If it can't find it, it won't work :)
2) Currently, if you do an OpenSSL build, libcrypto & libssl are
statically compiled into lib5250.dll. So, if you are moving
the dll to a computer in another country, make sure you're aware
of any legal issues relating to cryptography. (but this is only
an issue if you compiled it with OpenSSL)
