I can't say for certain that the translation table isn't the same base
as Minshall's, since I don't know where Greg obtained his, but our tn3270
did not evolve from Minshall's (we originally got the code from an IBMer).
and modified the table to conform more with the 7171's used on campus
(e.g. which square bracket to use etc.)
