Your message of yesterday concerning Wollongong's EUNICE and TCP products
for VMS, contained some information that I would like to correct. We are
currently investigeting how this incorrect information was relayed to you
and we apologize for the confusion. However...
Here are the true facts:
1/ TN3270 is available with EUNICE release 4.3.1 (from September 1987).
As released, it has two known minor bugs, which we picked up from the
Berkeley sources. They will be fixed in new EUNICE mainten
ance release
coming up in June.
2/ TN3270 is currently available only with EUNICE, not WIN/TCP. It requires
"libcurses" library which is not supported under WIN/TCP, due to the
requirement for a UNIX license.
3/ There is no WIN/TCP release 3.3 scheduled for this summer. The release
following after 3.2 will be 4.0, which will be compatable with VMS 5.0.
We do not yet have an announced release date for WIN/TCP 4.0.

There must be another real reason. Could it be... -dB {amdahl, cpsc6a, mtxinu, ptsfa, sun, hoptoad}!rtech!daveb daveb@rtech.uucp

VMS has had a curses library for over a year (that's as far back as I go with VMS). While it has some bugs, it is quite possible to work around them and write full-screen character-at-a-time programs without too much pain. We've got some in the Cronus project. Better double-check what the "real" reason is. /rich $alz -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net.

Especially to: "Crack? No thanks, I've got a new CD player" <...!daveb> We are not aware of the existence of curses in the PD. In my article I wrote "currently available", which really means the state of out products at this "currently available", which really means the state of our products at this time. Definitely, it does not mean we will do it this way till the final day of existence of our solar system... We are pursuing the option in our WIN/TCP, which will allowe you to have TN3270 without any UNIX license. By the way... Which PD curses are your favorite and where are the sources?
