[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] APL support for TN3270

DGM@unb.ca (" David G. Macneil") (11/20/90)

Hello,

       we are seeking a version of TN3270 for a PC (preferred) or UNIX
which supports the APL character set.  We wish to replace a leased line
and multiplexer supporting remote APL terminals with a TCP/IP
connection.

       Leads and hard facts welcome.

                 Thanks,

                                     Dave

           we are seeking a version of TN3270 for a PC (preferred) or UNIX
    which supports the APL character set.

Our PC/TCP TN3270 has a user-loadable Ascii-EBCDIC translation table, and
display and keyboard remapping facilities.  Given a PC with an APL keyboard
and a display that can generate all the characters you need (we have no
provision for customizable fonts), this should be a day's work or so.  Get
the appropriate Tech Ref. and if you can find all the characters you want
in the section on display values, all should be well.
