[comp.sys.apollo] Latest version of tn3270...

austin@METO.UMD.EDU (Austin L. Conaty) (11/01/90)

I am looking for the latest version of tn3270
available for apollos running sr10.2 with aegis/bsd4.3.
Here's what I have now:

ts /sys_meto/com/tn3270
/sys_meto/com/tn3270: Program_Module
  Name = telnet_c
  Time Stamp: 1986/11/07 16:44:52 EST (Fri)

I understand there is a more recent version out there somewhere.

Thanks,

Thanks for the info on tn3270. I ftp'ed the tar file,
but when I try and untar it I get =>

$   tar -xvf  tn3270.tar.Z  wow
tar: directory checksum error (0 != -2315)

I've looked at the man page for tar, what am I doing wrong?
I've tried about every combination tar -x, tar -xbfv, tar -xfv.....
I don't get much out of the error message  :(   HELP!!!

The ".Z" appended to the filename indicates that the tar file
has been compressed. First use "uncompress tn3270.tar" to
uncompress the file. Then use "tar -xvf tn3270.tar" to unpack
the directory.
