James,

I'm not clear. Did you write the tn5250 and the documentation, or just the
documentation?

For speed and small memory footprint you can't beat tn5250
(http://tn5250.sourceforge.net).  Not only that, but it is also very
featureful.  And it has great documentation (though I am very biased since I
wrote it).
