Re: TN5250J didn't survive move to Windows 7

I'm with you on this - and you haven't even mentioned the Copy Append and Paste Next options - along with setting the option of keeping the trim rectangle around after a Copy, well, you have a very flexible Copy/Paste setup that no other emulator has.

I do wish CA would wrap to the beginning of the next line, not immediately below the cursor. I've never seen a way to make this work. It can take customers really by surprise, sometimes!

Now is it a pleasant time to paste a 500-line source into 25 pages? No, but there is RDp for that, which I'll normally use now. Or RPGNextGen, which I've offered to our tech support, who don't need all the stuff I need in WDSC, such as SCM plugins.

But I will go with CA (actually, for license reasons, my own copy of Personal CommunIcations 5250) anytime, for the macro facility in particular, the likes of which I've not seen elsewhere.

But not everyone needs the macro stuff, so Mocha is fine, TN5250J would be fine, too, I assume.

If anyone is interested, you can modify the CA keyboard to make things more windoze-like - Ctrl X/C/V plus Ctrl-A for copy append and Ctrl-N for Paste Next. And you can add to the tool bar, so that recording and playing macros can be controlled completely. Anyone who asks privately, I'll send keyboard and toolbar files. Of course, it's easy enough to modify them yourself, once you know it can be done. I don't have any of this for the other emulators, though.

Thanks Pete and Alan for the update.

I'll try to work with the installer.jar tomorrow.

It's bad that the SourceForge 0.6.2 doesn't work. I don't know
who maintains what version and when, It's a bit confusing.

But, the TN5250j emulator seems to be the best in town especially when
users
demand a good working copy/paste function. tn5250j this is much better in
copy/paste
than CA and Mocha (awesome). I am just missing the CUT when doing
programming and can see that
this feature in on the list at SourceForge.
