Re: TN5250 on MAC with STRPCO?

You can use TN5250J as an emulator but I don't see how it would be possible
to ever use STRPCO or STRPCCMD. They are based on Client Access being on
your system which must be PC. It doesn't run on the MAC. The emulator is not
the part that I would think that you need to make STRPCO or STRPCCMD to
work. It is the rest of the pieces of Client Access which only run on the
PC.

Looks like there might be 3rd party products out there that run on the MAC.
Google on Client Access Mac.

But you'll have to figure out how to compile the code on Mac and get it
running. (If I had a Mac, you can bet it would be all set and ready to
go...)

The tricky part, though, will be adjusting the command syntax based on
the OS. For example, the 'rundll32' and 'start' commands typically used
with STRPCCMD are unlikely (?) to work with Mac. The directory
structure is likely to be different. etc, etc. So your CL program
would have to send a different command for MAC vs. Windows. (At least,
i'm assuming that... again, I don't have a Mac.)

I've run into that problem with FreeBSD vs. Windows, though.

Does anyone know of a TN5250 client for a MAC that supports the STRPCO
command? We launch commands to display images. If not using STRPCO is
there another way for an application to tell a MAC to open and display
an image in a separate window?
