Hello World!
I would like to be running an interactive high-level language
application on an IBM pc and have the added ability to be
connected to a host(DEC,IBM,UNISYS, etc.), flip-flopping back
and forth from application to application (hot-key?).
Questions:
1. what do I need in terms of hardware or software
to be able to have concurrent sessions?
2. how can I pass data back and forth between
applications (in both directions)?
3. what is HLLAPI and how can I use it to accomplish this?
4. is there a terminal emulation package available
to do this?
This is what I need to accomplish:
- application A (running on the host) makes a request to
application B (running on the PC).
- application B searches a database on the hard drive and
returns some data to application A as its response.
I hope that this is not pie-in-the-sky and that someone out there
has a solution for me. By the way, a high level language solution
would be preferred. thanx everybody.
