I would like to have TN3270 running on my A/UX 2.0 system. It doesn't matter if it's the Brown "MacOS" version, or a true Unix version, but I'd like to get something to work. On the Brown side, I've tried 2.3d8, 2.3d13, and 2.3d15, all of which blow up big time with a Bus Error once launched. Anyone know what the problem is? I've seen mentioned a couple of times people who have Brown TN3270 running under A/UX 2.0. What version? On the Unix side, has anyone gotten TN3270 to run under A/UX 2.0? If so, how does one go about getting and compiling it? Note here that I'm a Unix tenderfoot, so I'm not very familiar with the makefile world of things. Any help would be appreciated, as telneting to an intermediary host from which I can TN3270 is getting to be a royal pain. Darryl E. Marsee Syracuse University <demarsee@gamera.cns.syr.edu>

I was able to get 2.3D11 working OK under A/UX 2.0 by moving the executable to my personal folder in the A/UX disk. Trying to execute it from its origina location on my Mac O/S disk failed to work. This was the executable downloaded from Brown U. some time ago. Note that you can invoke the 'debug' mode of tn3270 (which writes all sorts of descriptive information to a volume named RAM, intended to be a ramdisk for th tne benefit of speed. It works if you have a floppy disk appropriately named 'ram' though. You can save the debug status by using the procedure in the manual to set debug level while running on Mac/OS, then save the config as a startup document. Move this document along with tn3270 to your new environment to get started. Hopefully you won't need this particular information, though. -Gary

Well, I found the problem to both Brown TN3270 bombing and HyperCard core dumping under A/UX 2.0. The culprit was the Moire screensaver, which as since be duly dumped, and my System Folder rebuilt. Darryl Marsee Syracuse University <demarsee@gamera.cns.syr.edu>
