Though it's a bit limited, when I don't want to start Windows I use x3270 (it's 
really an X11 application, not a true Mac app, but it runs in all OS X 
releases). See http://planetmvs.com/mvsintosh/x3270.html for a tutorial (which 
you will need unless you're a Unix and X11 wizard). And the price is right...

Re: Any 3270 emulators for Mac Lion?

2011-10-17 Thread Cheryl Watson
Problem solved. Thanks to all of you.

Once I learned that Brown's tn3270 (which I had used successfully before) 
worked with somebody's Lion system, I tried it again. 

What I discovered was that I was making two changes at one time - Lion PLUS and 
trying to logon to our z/VM system instead of our z/OS system. The first needs 
SSL, while the second doesn't. Changing that setting allowed tn3270 to work 
fine.

I should know better!

Thanks again,
Cheryl

Custom programmability for 3270 emulators (Was RE: Data Masking - 3270 Sceens)

2011-02-08 Thread Charles Mills
Last one that I wrote was in about 1990. Anyone remember SNA? g

There are several 3270 vendors around. Some of the emulators have a macro
capability.

Using the standard user program-3270 emulator API (EHLLAPI) it would be
pretty easy to write a Visual Basic or similar program that did any
particular sequence of functions (even read non-display fields!).

Take a look at the macro language in Tom Brennan's Vista. Macro functions
include  

WinExec Start another Windows program by executable filename 
ShellExecute Start another Windows program by data filename

 I wonder if some emulators might not
 let you do a cut and paste from a
 non-display field. As someone who has written a couple of
 3270 emulators I
 can tell you it would be easy to add an option to an
 emulator to make
 non-display data accessible in some fashion.

Re: Emulators

2008-10-10 Thread Thomas Kern
I use the x3270 emulator, normally as a mod3 but have used it as a mod4 and
with custom screensize. I can be configured as a 3279 and you can still
change the colors after that. There is a BRIGHT color setup and a REVERSE
setup that I use regulaly. 
 
There was a packaging (from State of Alaska or University of Alaska) of
x3270 with the minimum CYGWIN stuff to run under windows. I was also
compiled with OpenSSL so that you can communicate with an SSL/TLS protected
mainframe.

Nexus terminal is cheap, but not free.
adv on BTW: it is very fine terminal adv off

What's free, Nexus author wrote some software to emulate host on PC, so 
Nexus (*and any other*) terminal can be tested without real host 
connection. And this is free. And it proves that Nexus is very fast.


Of course host emulation is not whole mainframe and z/OS - it is only 
data stream to 3270 terminal.


Last but not least (for me) - Nexus supports polish codepage correctly, 
which is uncommon.

I was looking at the link for the contest, and my eye caught the following 
paragraph:

Did you know that 25 of the top 25 banks worldwide run on System z, IBM's 
mainframe computing system? 71% of Fortune 500 companies are also System z 
clients.

The fact that 25 of the top 25 banks worldwide run on z doesn't surprise me, 
but I thought the percent of fortune 500 companies running on z was more like 
90 - 95%.  This surprises me that only 71% run on the mainframe.

There are few stupid questions asked here. Your questions have not been
stupid. They have been ignorant. Ignorant questions are not improper, IMO.
Also, they have not been formed with what some would call proper English.
But if I had to ask a question in some other language, such as Japanese or
even French, I would not be able to do even as good a job as you have with
English.

There is some prejudice, based on outsourcing and job loss, against
answering questions here which could be considered help me do my job so I
can take yours away. Globalization is a fact of life now and the
adjustments are hurting.

The above are my personal opinions and do not necessarily reflect the
opinions of anybody in their right mind.

In general, no. there is www.z390.com . That site has some software which
allows development of assembler (HLASM) code. It actually runs it in a Java
virtual machine. It also has emulation for VSAM and CICS. But there is no
support for JCL. And no support for other languages such as COBOL. So, if
you are developing assembler level CICS code, then you might be able to use
this software. It is cost free. Many people on the assembler list really
like it. I haven't had any time to try it.

Hardware emulator is available. See the Hercules-390 list on 
yahoo groups, or google on Hercules.


Various operating systems available, but limited to ones that 
IBM has no restrictions on (so you can get MVT, MVS, DOS, VM). 
Restricted systems and components are not available, unless you 
happen to work for IBM; these include z/OS, OS/390, ESA, DB2, 
CICS, etc.


For a complete, ready to run MVS system, look in cbttape.org for 
the turnkey system, with matching yahoo group turnkey-mvs

previous post in thread:
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2008h.html#9 3277 terminals and emulators

the folklore is that after future system project was terminated
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#futuresys

also this old post:
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001f.html#33

some number retreated to rochester and did the s/38.

i've claimed that somewhat in parallel, the 801/risc project went on
... with an objective of going to the exact opposite extreme of future
system hardware complexity.
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#801

somewhere along the line, a project was started to replace the large
variety of internal microprocessors with 801/risc. there was fort knox
and iliad chips. One of these iliad efforts was to replace all the
microprocessors in entry and mid-range 370s with (801/risc) iliad chips;
the 4381 (4341 followon) microprocessor originally started out to be a
iliad chip. iliad chip was also going to be used for the as/400
microprocessor (follow-on to the s/38). Both efforts were still born.
Custom cisc chips were eventually done for both the 4381 as well as for
the as/400.

8100 used a totally different chip, uc.5 ... significantly underpowered.

there is old email about the MIT Lisp machine project asking IBM for
801/risc chips for their machine ... and being offered 8100 instead;
old email reference:
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006c.html#email790711
in this post
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006c.html#3 Architectural support for programming 
languages

as an aside ... at one point they sent my wife in to audit the 8100
effort and she recommended the whole thing be killed off.

much later there was the power/pc project (i.e. somerset, joint with
ibm, motorola, apple, et al) ... and as/400 finally did move off a cisc
processor to 801/risc (power/pc).

No, will not work.  It might work if you can connect the machine to a modem
though.

I believe he has a 15D model.  Looks very familiar to me from 25+ years ago.
 Also the fact it wants 3340/3344 drives.  There should be an I/O cage in
the back with a bunch of BNC connectors for coax attached terminals.

The terminal he is looking for would be used for the system console.  IIRC,
that may have a special connection in the side of the main frame.  This
console would also be used for system power on displays.

3420 tape drives, 1403 printers, and 1442 card reader/punchers would also
work quite well.

Subject: 3277 terminals and emulators

Folks,

I'm in the process of powering-up my System/3:

http://www.corestore.org/3.htm

One vital component I don't have is a console terminal. The System/3
uses a
3277 console - specifically, a 3277 Model 1 (yes, the 12 lines x 40
characters one!). So:

1. Does anyone reading this list have one, or have any leads on where
one
might be found?

2. Failing that, I'm looking for any 3rd party compatible terminals, or
device combinations that could add up to 3277-1 compatibility.

So far, the only leads I have are that the 3270 card in the XT/370
desktop
mainframe machine did 3277 emulation - but I don't know if it supported
Model 1 mode. Ditto for the 'Appleline' external 3270 box for early Mac
amp;
Lisa machines; again I've heard that supported 3277, but don't know
about
Model 1 specifically.

What about the machine that was marketed as the XT/3270 - did that
support
3277 Mod. 1, for instance?

Any clues, leads, or suggestions would be most welcome!

And, while I'm looking for desperately rare things, I'm also going to
need
3340 disk drives at some point... anyone know where those might be
found?
Who made 100% plug-compatible 3340 clones?

Thanks!

the signals on the cable change between 3272/3277/ANR and 3274/3278/DCA
(although 3274 supported the attachment of 3277)

part of the difference was reducing the manufacturing costs of the
terminal, they moved a lot of the electronics that had been in the 3277
head back into the controller. there had been some amount of work on
modifying 3277 to improve the 3277 human factors ... which were then no
longer possible with 3278 (since all the logic was now back in the
controller). One of the issues was (because of the fundamental
half-duplex) ... if you were typing when the system wrote to the head
... the keyboard would lockup and you needed to hit the reset key. A
3277 keystroke fifo was created that would handle the input/output
sequencing and hold keystrokes in the buffer to avoid the keyboard
lockup. Another was being able to modify the repeat key/delay timing to
significantly increase the rate.

another aspect was because so much processing had been moved back into
the (3274) controller ... that interactions that were nearly
instantaneous on 3272/3277 would be around 1/2 second on 3274/3278 ...
making .25 second interactive response impossible  the jokes at the
time was that the data entry applications were fairly insensitive to
system response and TSO with minimum of 1second response already never
saw the difference.

3277 Mod. 1, for instance?

Any clues, leads, or suggestions would be most welcome!

And, while I'm looking for desperately rare things, I'm also going to need
3340 disk drives at some point... anyone know where those might be found?
Who made 100% plug-compatible 3340 clones?

Thanks!

Mike

I think she was trying to suggest I don't even think about heading down

3270 Emulators

2008-02-28 Thread Shane
I know this has been pounded to death, but ...

Had a need for an emulator on my personal laptop, so went and got Vista
from Tom Brennan.
Couldn't get into a site requiring SSL V3. Emailed Tom, and he told me
which drop-down box I'd missed. PEBKAC.

$US30 ... damn, that's good value. Get out there and support him.

Re: 3270 Emulators

Shane,

We've used Vista for our small band of TSO users for eight years.

Prompted by your email I realised that although we'd bought a 
multi-seat license back in 2000, we've paid nothing since then.  So, 
we've just bought a new multi-seat license to in some small way try 
and ensure that Tom Brennan and Vista are still there for us in the 
uncertain future.


Thanks Tom.  http://www.tombrennansoftware.com

Shane/Graeme:
 
I agree. I purchased Tom Brennan's code a few years back and am very happy with 
it and Tom has ALWAYS been extremely helpful whenever I had a question whether 
it was related to his code or not.  A real class act.

The free version of QWS3270 is out on the web at various colleges.  Early
free versions of TN3270+ may be out there as well.  If you have a Mac, the
Brown University emulator is available.  But I recommend spending $30 for

If you are running Linux, X3270.  In fact I beleive that X3270 can also 
run under Cygwin which runs on Windows.

2006-07-12 Thread Thomas Kern
This is the set that I like. The C3270 has a smaller footprint so I have it on
a small CD that I have in my daytimer. I use the X3270 for my regular work from
home, more ablibity to change fontsize. It also understands SSL enabled tn3270
(L:hostnameoraddr:port).

I compiled up the most recent version of c3270 and x3270 and
made windows installers for each which include all the
necessary cygwin stuff.   This version has support for tn3270ssl.

It worked for me but no warranties expressed or implied
