RE: win32 version

["Sean Porterfield" <sporter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I have Client Access for Windows, so I don't really *NEED* tn5250 for
win, I just wanted to try it.

The only two other problems are #1 I don't know C and #2 I don't know how to
compile anything on Windows.  I have DJGPP and have compiled console apps
but never anything with a GUI.  I had Borland Turbo C++ (really old version)
somewhere...  Maybe I need to dust it off...

No big deal (I don't want to be running Windows anyway!)

Keyboard mapping?  Ha! ;)

Really it's very alphaish, and not all of the keys are even present.
Actually, the code for the Win32 front-end has been removed, and will be
replaced (hopefully soon) by the code for the GTK+ front end (there is a
GTK+ port to Windows).  Until then, I would recommend using PowerTERM (by
Ericom?) under Windows.  PowerTERM is _really_ cool, even if it _is_
shareware/demoware.

If you really want to get it to work, you should probably get 0.13.2 or
0.13.3
source (before Windows support was removed, and before it didn't work
anymore),
and hack the keyboard mapping in winterm.c
