Hello All-

Been struggling with trying to get Latvian/Lithuanian language support 
running. On the AS/400 we use cp1112, which properly represents all of the 
nice characters we need. On the output side, we have some ibm6400 printer 
beasts ready to support cp921, which also has all the characters we need. 
so far so good.

The problem is actually doing the cp translation.

I understand that transmaps.h is the conversion table used by lp5250d. I 
have created two tables one a 1112-921 conversion, and a second 921-1112 
conversion. I have also added two lines at the index at the end "921" and 
"1112" with appropriate references. I have recompiled the tn5250 package 
and installed. I then ammended the tn5250rc to include the map=1112 
statement for my printer. When I run the lp5250d eotest, it connects and 
immediately dumps. When I review the trace file, it appears that something 
is forcing things back to cp37... and dumping the connection.

Anybody have an idea what is going on?
