There is at least one other french-speaker on this list, and I think he has
successfully gotten the emulator to work with the French keyboard layout, but
don't quote me on that ... Gomez, care to step in?

I've been trying to help with the internationalization, but I unfortunately
do not know enough ...

Mostly just tears :)

No, but next best thing.  If you produce a tracefile (with the -t option), you
can play back the entire session from start to finish by specifying the
tracefile instead of a host to connect to... something like this:

tn5250 -t /tmp/slime.log -u bgi400

then:

tn5250 -u debug:/tmp/slime.log


In addition to this, I have a small number of DDS tests, which I hope to add
a couple of additional field types to..  I'll probably add them to the next
release(s).

Nope, no FAQ - any volunteers?
