Does one exist? I know of one that runs under sunview: 3270tool. It even has it's own font that looks like a 3270. Any information regarding an X version would be very welcome. md.

It runs under SunOS, HP-UX and Apollo. It doesn't use any widget library, just Xt. It definitely works under R4, and probably R3. -- Jeff Sparkes jsparkes@bnr.ca Another feature is that the seats float, so that the airline can recover them if the plane crashes into the ocean. -- Dave Barry

Lynx Software has a product called 3270/X that currently runs under SCO Open Desktop, but they are intending to port to other platforms. You could contact Jerry Anderson at 800-336-LYNX or (better yet) uunet!lynxwwt!info. I'm not affiliated with this company, just interested in 3270 emulation for X. I'd be interested in hearing about others. Mike Harrigan Network Computing Devices mikeh@ncd.com

If you are interested in commercial products here are two that I know of: Lynx Software has a product called 3270/X that currently runs under SCO Open Desktop, but they are intending to port to other platforms. You could contact Jerry Anderson at 800-336-LYNX or (better yet) uunet!lynxwwt!info. I also recently read about a product called IOC3270-S from I/O Concepts that you may want to investigate. I/O Concepts Inc. is in Seattle, WA; you can reach them at (206) 286-7406. I'm not affiliated with either company, just interested in 3270 emulation for X. I'd be interested in hearing about others.

We are currently working on a X11 IBM3179 emulator. It's not ready for release yet; I guess it will be late fall until we're confident with it. It does display some nice SAS and APL graphics demos already. We still have to finish the graphics emulation and work on text I/O preformance. It does display some SAS and APL demos nicely. We still have to work on performance and finishing the graphics emulation. APL mode is not implemented yet. Btw: we're looking for IBM-3270 style screen fonts; we only have one size so far, also no APL font. I do know about the pre-R4 X11 Apl fonts, but they're not the size we need. I'm thinking about using Metafont, apl.mf and the Dirk Grunwald's gf->bdf conversion program from the SeeTex distribution. But that would'nt help us for the plain (ebcdic) screen font. any ideas? -Michael Haberler

I am looking for ANY information on 3270 emulators that use X for terminal I/O. I would most perfer a 3270 widget and a tcp/ip or telnet communications widget. Dan Henderson US WEST ITG 1475 Lawrence Suite 500 Denver, CO 80202 303-595-2852 danh@uswat.uswest.com
