Re: Using HATSLE

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you looking for a facing tool like HATS or just 5250 access?  I 
wasn't aware the PComm provided more than just a 5250 interface (but I 
admit that I am not that familiar with it).

Free 5250 emulation is available through tn5250j at sourceforge 
(sf.net).  Since it is an open source project you can pretty much use it 
as you need to.  I know of at least one user on the tn5250j list that 
has modified to the code to do some "facing" (and there has been talk 
from others).  We had a guy from Seagull (I think) working on the code 
as well.
