Guidelines for LINUX5250 mailing list

Monthly posting of the guidelines for participation in the LINUX5250
Mailing List.

Answers to common questions, including installation issues for FreeBSD,
Linux and Windows are included in the documentation in the README file
in the source tarball, the manual included with the Windows installer,
and the other documentation found on our web site at
http://tn5250.sourceforge.net

Answers to other questions which may have already been asked are available in
the linux5250 email list archive, which is available at
http://archive.midrange.com/linux5250/

Keep to the subject.  The topic of the list is the Linux Tn5250
Emulation project.   (Though, the name "Linux" is a misnomer, since
the software will work in Microsoft Windows and any modern Unix or
Unix-like operating system)

free to argue the facts, but no personal attacks will be tolerated.

The official language of the LINUX5250 Mailing List is English.

Do not post personal messages.  Please use direct E-Mail.  This list is
international in scope and personal messages just end up costing money.

Italian mapping Fx x>=13

Good morning,
we used for more than 7 years tn5250 (version 0.16.5-1), with Italian
keyboard, on an old RedHat7.3 without any problems.
Now we moved to CentOS5.5 and with its default tn5250 installation
(version 0.17.3-6) we are not able anymore to send F>12 (I mean keys
from F13 to F23).
We tried with calling
loadkeys -d
before tn5250
or with
tn5250 +underscores env.TERM=IBM-3477-FC hostname
but it still doesn't work.
We've already looked at the us map file and read the tn5250-HOWTO.pdf
(we didn't create our own map yet).
It's odd that with a minor release change (from 0.16 to 0.17) tn5250
behaves so differently and probably we are missing something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

PC Organizer Function

We have an application that uses the strpco/strpccmd functions.  It does
not work with tn5250 in Windows ver. 0.17.4.  I checked the archives and
looked in the source and found the display_check_pccmd in display.c is
present.  

Can anyone tell me if they have it working in Windows and what I might
have to do to get it to work.

thanks,

Ralph

Re: PC Organizer Function

Do you have +allow_strpccmd in your configuration?
(Otherwise, tn5250 will ignore STRPCCMD.)

Re: PC Organizer Function

No I did not have it in the configuration file and it does indeed work
after I put that line in, Thank you.

Where did I miss that? Is it in the 'How To'

Thanks, again

Re: Italian mapping Fx x>=13

This is almost certainly your CentOS terminal type and/or keyboard 
configuration. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with CentOS (in fact, 
this is the first time I've heard of it!), and have no idea how to 
change it's behavior.

Who knows... I might ask to the CentOS maintainer.

x5250 debian package

Hello there,

Has anyone worked on or is working on a debian/ubuntu package for x5250?

We are doing a deployment across the country and instead of each server
having all the library headers and compiler tools installed, it would just
be cleaner to install a .deb package for update management, etc.

If not we'll work with it for now.

Thanks!

Ubuntu has a "tn5250" package.

Re: x5250 debian package

Yes it does, sorry I was referring to the x5250 project (homepage:
http://www.chowhouse.com/~james/x5250/)

tn5250 is not a problem.
