Re: TN5250J didn't survive move to Windows 7

[Pete Helgren <pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
