Re: 5250 Emulators.

Hi Chris,

Sorry this is late, I've been out of town since the 15th, just got back
today.

as you've already heard, both James Rich and Marc-Antoine Ruel have been
doing some work with the enhanced 5250 support.   It's a very complicated
thing to implement, however, and I have no idea what their timetables are
like.

This subject would be better discussed on the Linux5250 mailing list which
you can find here:
  http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/linux5250

Despite the name, it's the correct mailing list for Windows, FreeBSD,
MacOS discussions of the tn5250 emulator, as well as Linux.

I'm quite certain that both James and M-A would love it if you could try
out their changes and see if they work nicely on your system.   Not only
do we need developers, but we need people who are willing to test and give
feedback.

Thanks!
