Re: Binary Dist (setup program) for Win32

Hi Martin,

I've fixed some of the issues you mentioned (in CVS)

   1) It now accepts all 10 chars for the device name

   2) It now will load settings from the command-line and/or tn5250rc
        file into the Quick-Connect dialog before displaying it,
        so you can set map=285, and it will appear.

   3) Added color mapping support.  (for both Windows and Curses, but
        not GTK or S/Lang)

I'll have to see if I can figure out how to add a "wizard" type question
to the setup program.  Its got a lot of options that I haven't really
looked at (this install being relatively simple), one of them might work
for that.

This is only a problem under VNC, correct?  I'm not that familiar with
VNC.   If you built tn5250 from source, I could tell you how to log
the keyboard codes that TN5250 is receiving...   That might help you
see what's going on?

I don't know much about VNC, so I don't know how much help I can be.
