Re: TN5250J didn't survive move to Windows 7

The 0.6.2 was a fairly extensive rewrite/refactor and I haven't had a chance to walk through the code and test it because I have been busy with a couple of projects.

This link http://www.petesworkshop.com/downloads/tn5250j-install-0.6.2_beta-1.jar points to the installer version of the PRE "extensive rewrite" version of tn5250j. The code was a version that I made some modifications to and then compiled to run on Java 6. If you have Java installed you should be able to just double-click or run the .jar and it should fire up the installer.

The version that Alan referred to is just about the same without being compiled as an installer. Either *should* work but, when it comes to Java, there is always the *should*.

I'd try the installer first. If that doesn't work, then try the tn5250j.jar file from the zip file that Alan referenced and replace the one in the location that the installer installed (I have heard that works).

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to install and test the latest revision on Sourceforge which is why I have hung on the the ones on my web site.

I got version 0.6.2 from Sourceforge, but running this tn5250j.jar
only results in a frozen splash screen.

I have a 0.6.1 beta 3 working using java 6 update 24 (newest).

Does somebody know what's wrong with 0.6.2 or do I miss some preregs. for running it.

Pete, pls tell me how to use the download you provided.

You could try the installer I have here:
http://www.petesworkshop.com/downloads/tn5250j-install-0.6.2_beta-1.jar
(use save as...)
I think it was the one I used to install in Win 7.

Sourceforge has a completely new version which I have not had a chance
to try yet but others have tried with good results.

You will also find a link in the archive to the new version.

I found the link and downloaded the .zip file. Unfortunately it didn't solve the
problem. It also included several other open-source projects that I didn't need.
AFAIK, there were no installation instructions.

Thanks for the suggestion.
