3270v3.5 is originally from dxcsftp.cern.ch directory 3270.stuff.


Directory 3270v<major.minor version number> is a 3270 emulator for
workstations or general 3270 gateway for asynchronous terminals.
The corresponding compressed tar file will be
3270v<major.minor version number>.tar.Z
The emulator is tested on Ultrix, Apollo, Sun, RS6000 and maybe some
other workstations. It is currently BSD: System V or POSIX one of these
fine days.

Directory TAGIBMp<major.minor version number> is the shell script
and a complete (!) set of surrounding utilities which
let the 3270 emulator be part of a general purpose gateway to allow
asynch terminals(normally on LAT terminal servers) access to any available
IBM. Some of the utilities might be of use to other people: look at the
README stuff there to decide.

3270v3.3 is a very old version.

3270v3.4 is the old version.
It does fix some bugs existing in 3270v3.3.

3270v3.5 is the standard version.
It does fix some bugs existing in 3270v3.4, plus some idiosyncracies
found in different workstations.

Important to TAGIBM installers
=========

Version 5.0 of TAGIBM expects to find the TAGIBM shell script in
/usr/local/bin/3270. However, this will in future be the normal place
for the actual emulator itself, as defined in the Makefiles for 3270v3.4
and subsequent versions: this is in line with general practice.

Version 5.1 of TAGIBM expects the shell script to be somewhere
else, normally /usr/local/bin/3270shell: this name is in the lat3270.c
program which forms part of TAGIBM. This is the case with version 5.1.
Therefore, people upgrading to 5.1 MUST be a bit careful!

Version 5.2 of TAGIBM is virtually the same as 5.1, except that it
uses 3270v3.5 and has a minor mod to the calls of ps. Note that these
calls of ps are sometimes to check a process number in order to look into
the syslog for a message from that process. When that process is telnetd
you must make sure that you have the correct version of this daemon: some
versions of Ultrix had a daemon without the required message.
