As I get time over the next few weeks, I'm going to be checking in some patches to tn5250 so that it can run under PC DOS and MS DOS, along with a few other minor changes that developed along the way. The patches are against the stable b0-16 branch, and shouldn't have any effect outside the new files for DOS support.

The updated tn5250 compiles as a protected mode program with DJGPP, using Watt-32 for networking.

The first patch isn't strictly to with with DOS; it converts the "transmaps" program from Perl to a shell script, and adds a number of DOS codepages. I also fixed the bug in recode for codepage 870 and regenerated transmaps.h, and so removed the hack in utility.c. (See http://bugs.debian.org/270414 for the fix.)

I'll keep the mailing list updated as I check in further changes.
