Here's the good news. Yes, we do have a working version of tn3270 for PC/IP. It emulates a 3278 on a mono card, and it has full color support and emulates a 3279 on a color card. It also has a key redefinition facility. We are using it here at CMU and it works great. Now here's the bad news. Unfortunately, the 3270 emulator was done by someone in IBM and is owned by IBM/ACIS. They won't let me distribute it. I also have a driver for the IBM token ring card. Unfortunately, we did it with IBM funding, so they own the code and won't let me distribute it. Both of these were done on top of my Microsoft C version of PCIP, which fortunately was done without IBM funds and is freely distributable to anyone who wants it. IBM is putting all their eggs in U. of Md. basket and hopes that they will soon be distributing both as an official IBM/ACIS supported product. If you (any universities anyway) would like to get my software NOW, PLEASE bang on your local IBM marketing people's heads to get them to allow me to distribute it. Like most university software, we won't officially support it but I do usually fix the bugs as soon as I hear about them. Drew
