Re: Running TN5250 outside of terminal

Hi Mark,

Do you know which folder your lib5250 is installed into? Do you have a /usr/local/lib/lib5250.so.0? Or /usr/lib/lib5250.so.0? or /lib/lib5250.so.0? (Or perhaps it's just lib5250.so, or perhaps it's lib5250.a)

Not exactly sure where it would be in Ubuntu, since I don't use that. But see if you can figure out where it is... once you've found it, do this:

strings /usr/local/lib/lib5250.so.0 | grep tn5250rc

This should give you a clue as to which folder it's looking into for the tn5250rc file. On most systems, it'll either be /etc/tn5250rc or /usr/local/etc/tn5250rc -- anything else would be very unusual.

also, you can have your own local copy in your home directory named .tn5250rc

I hope "strings" works on Linux -- I know it does on FreeBSD, and would expect Linux to be the same.

I'm still not sure where to place the tn5250rc config file. I used apt-get install to get and build the software, so I'm not sure where the ./configure option came into play.

Needless to say, I'm a linux newbie.

Mark,

In your tn5250rc file, set the font_80 and font_132 properties to
control the fonts (including their size) displayed in 80 column and 132
column mode.

For more details, check out James Rich's HOWTO:

Ok, thanks, that works, but the session is really tiny. Any way to make it larger?
