RE: TCP/IP Connection software

[Tom Daly <Tdaly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've used TN5250 and the only complaint I have is the cut and paste.  I
prefer the CA cut and paste because it maintains columns with no silly CRLFs
being inserted.

 |  Well I think that the best emulation on earth is tn5250, a
 |  GPLed 5250
 |  emulation package.  I may be somewhat biased since I helped
 |  write some of
 |  it but it still rocks the planet :)  You get:
 |
 |  1.  Runs on windows and just about every unix out there
 |  (linux and freebsd
 |  especially well supported).
 |  2.  5250 display emulation with a number of different
 |  access methods, i.e.
 |  over telnet, in a Windows window, and X Windows.  Great for
 |  when you are
 |  at a remote location which has no emulation software loaded.
 |  3.  Printer emulation.  Prints to whatever printer you already have
 |  defined on your computer.  Just start the printer emulator
 |  and send your
 |  printed output to the out queue created.
 |  4.  Printed output can stored in several formats.  In addition to
 |  printing, tn5250 supports saving your printouts to disk in ASCII,
 |  postscript, and PDF.  Creating postscript or PDF files is as easy as
 |  starting the printer and sending your spooled file to the out queue.
 |  5.  The source code to the entire package.  Since it is
 |  GPLed you get to
 |  modify it to your heart's content :)
