Re: [LINUX5250] GTK version

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

Jason Felice started a GTK version quite some time ago.  It's usable,
though not finished.  You'll find it in CVS, just do a checkout of
"gnome-5250" instead of "tn5250".

It uses lib5250 from the normal tn5250 project, so you should be familiar
with a large portion of it, already :)

IMHO, finishing this would give us the ability to do keyboard mapping
just about any way that we can think of, as well as giving us something
that could be made to run under Windows.   It would be an ENORMOUS
benefit!   But, that's just my humble opinion :)

Not sure if you're aware or not (you haven't been around, lately) but
we've been working off of the CVS server at sourceforge.net.   You may
want to create yourself an account there, and ask Carey to give you access
to the project.  The whole sourceforge thing is pretty slick, IMHO :)
