The existing tn5250 isn't too bad; it's certainly workable although not terribly flexible. It doesn't have any problems compiling on FreeBSD, although it does require that you have the ncurses port installed (why do we have such an ancient version of ncurses in our tree)? I haven't gotten around to submitting my port yet, because when I tried last time, the ncurses port it depended on was broken. I'll give it another go later this afternoon hopefully, now that you've jogged my memory. -- Dom Mitchell -- Palmer & Harvey McLane -- Unix Systems Administrator Free your mind -- http://www.opensource.org/ -- ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
