This program executable is released into the public Domain. You can
copy it, use it and circulate it to others but you can't sell it.
Some of the original Winsock code was developed by John A. Junod in
his WS_FTP application. I thank him for his efforts. I also thank
Marvin Solomon from the University of Wisconsin whose unix WISC3270
telnet was the base for some of the 3270 code.
Availability:
QWS3270 is available via anonymous FTP from ftp.ccs.queensu.ca in
the pub\msdos\tcpip directory as qws3270.zip
System Requirements:
My development and testing was all completed using the Trumpet
Windows Sockets DLL Alpha #16 and #17. The code has also been tested
with PC/TCP version 1.1 Winsock DLL. The application is running on
a Packard Bell 486sx/25 with a 101 key keyboard running Windows 3.1.
Installation:
1. Create a program item pointing to QWS3270.EXE in the command line.
2. Copy QWS3270.INI to your WINDOWS directory. The settings in this
file can be modified with a text editor or using the SETUP menu
within the application.
Winsocks Supported:
The following is a list of the winsock implementations that the
have been tested by the developer:
1. Trumpet Windows Sockets Alpha #16 and #17.
2. PC/TCP version 1.1 Winsock DLL.
The following is based on a note that I received from Chris
Sacksteder from Pennsylvania State University:
1. PC/TCP 2.22 and winsock 1.09 alpha 5 - works
2. Lanera TCPOpen - works
3. Netmange Chamelon 3.11n - works
4. Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows for Workgroups - works
5. Windows NT 3.1 - works
Known Restrictions:
1) A PROTOCOL and SERVICES file must exist in the Winsock directory.
2) Only emulates 3278 model 2 terminals.
3) Only supports 101 key keyboards.
4) The following 3270 commands have not implemented:
start field extended
modify field
set attribute
graphics escape
Still to do:
1. Allow 3270 keys (clear, erase end of field, etc) to be changed.
2. Allow different font sizes. This would probably require that
the window size be saved in the .INI file.
3. Allow cut and paste.
4. Allow beep to be turned off.
5. allow a host to be input via the command line.
Suggestions for improvements and enhancements are welcome.
Please indicate the application release number when reporting
problems/bugs. The application is currently changing quickly and
your bug may already be fixed by a more current release.
