IBM 3270 Terminal Applications Suite For Linux

IBM 3270 Terminal Applications suite consists of seven applications.

x3270 is an IBM 3270 terminal emulator for the X Window System and Windows. The project runs on most Unix-like operating systems -- e.g., Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris and Cygwin. It also runs natively on Windows. x3270 runs over a TELNET connection, emulating either an IBM 3279 (color) or 3278 (monochrome). It supports:

� The full TN3270E protocol � SSL/TLS (via the OpenSSL library) for encrypted sessions � APL2 characters � Non-English character sets, including Russian, Turkish, Hebrew and DBCS Chinese and Japanese � IND$FILE file transfer � NVT mode (emulating a color xterm) � A pop-up keypad for 3270-specific keys � A scrollbar � Printer session integration � Extensive debugging and scripting facilities

It does not yet support graphics. x3270 is distributed as source code, and can be used for free.

� x3270 is available in several different forms: � x3270 is for use on an X graphics display � c3270 is a curses-based version for use on a dumb terminal (e.g., a serial terminal or a Linux console) � wc3270 is the Windows console version of c3270 � s3270 is a displayless version for writing screen-scraping scripts � tcl3270 is similar to s3270, but integrated with Tcl � pr3287 is for printer emulation � wpr3287 is the native Windows version of pr3287

Also available is x026, an IBM 026 Keypunch emulator.
