Does anyone know if tn3270 has been ported to the
IBM PC ? If so, I would greatly appreciate hearing about
it.
Thanks.

Greg Minshall's spring 1987 Unix tn3270 distribution included a TN3270 for the PC, but it was built around U-B's socket library (for their NIU card), and used a curses package that Berkeley had done (which may not have been generally available). This may have changed in newer releases. FTP Software's PC/TCP has included a TN3270 since July 1987 (based on Greg's 3270 emulator). It emulates a 3278-2, and does screen redisplays quite rapidly (1/4 sec or less). The version that will ship with v2.03 of PC/TCP has a re-mappable keyboard, simple 4-color support, and will emulate a 3278-4 on an EGA or VGA. IBM's TCP/IP for DOS also includes a TN3270, but I haven't seen it or its manual. It was done at UMD under contract (based on Greg's code, I think). James VanBokkelen FTP Software Inc. (617) 868-4878

IBM's tn3270 is based originally on work done by Jacob Rehkter at IBM's TJ Watson Research Center, modified by Drew Perkins of CMU, then modified by us. -drc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David R.
