Hi,

I tried connecting to rocsys.dyndns. <http://rocsys.dyndns.org:3277>
org:3277, but got a "Wait" when hitting enter on the Herc logo.

I am using wc3270

Good News
 
The editor is on the machine (PRE PRE PRE ALPHA)
Really need input to get this working right.
Type ED instead of BR
 
 
Most commands are more or less the same as the browser
Two new line commands are:
I & D
 
I or Inn  will insert blank lines at the current pos
D or Dnn will delete the lines
/ still works same as in Browser will find/search for a string = curent pos
to end
 
Only the first D or I will get acted upon
 
Otherwise its more or less the same functionality at this point.
Except of course you can edit lines
 
Even to the right of the viewable screen where the recors is larger than the
dispaly. SHIFT and it fiogures out the positions
 
Meanwhile it's just in storage - doesn't write the file out yet - or I will
lose my test data.
Updated sources and listings are on the site
 
 
I need input - CAPS ON CAPS off ????
I have a routine tht does translation on the data you enter - but it is
field oriented in my macros
So if I use that routine and defines the flds as tran=yes then you will get
the equivalent of caps on
But you cant turn it off
 
I defined all the editing fields as caps off in the maps and I'll need a
program switch, if I need to do the translation
 
Some problem about the logical order of actions -- Not sure how to handle it
 
Is a good rule of thumb to process the action lines on theleft side first
and then process the command.
 
for instance  - that would work find for DD DD OR CC CC
Or should I ignore the command line when their are action fileds - that
makes the logic a lot easier
just process the action lines
 
what is the logic for SAVE - PF3 automatic save or save only on SAVE or FILE
and then you get into the previous question.
Do I allow a PF3 if the file has been changed or do I force a QUIT COMMAND
 
Lots of little things here
 
I don't think I should do a save directly but rather  a save on the A DISK
under a different name and then a copy
all kinds of issues will arise - R/O- no Room etc. Need unified logic - like
to hear suggestions
 
PASTE is in the down the road a bit - probably next week
 
next for me CC CC (P &r F)  or (B & A) - what do you guys prefer?
Also DD DD and / on the action line to bring it to the top
 
let me know whats missing -
Goal is a useful tool - doesn't have to be the best editor in the world (but
that's also a possibility)
Any body want to write some HELP Screens - My English is not that good.
neither is my spelling
Just write them in 76 pos lines and I'll build the maps, I think you can use
the PF1 on the first screen as a model

Rocky,

I'm using Tom Brennan's TN3270 to connect to your Hercules; sometimes I must
retry one or more times (waiting for 10 seconds time out), but when I get
Hercules screen and then VM/370 screen everything works well (I can stay
connected for hours without dropping).

Performances are good (subsecond time while browsing little files), only
large files (dumps or listings) require a few seconds to load in memory.

A little suggestion: is it possible to launch BROWSE with a PF key selecting
the file pointed by the cursor (in VM/SP FLIST way)?

Anyhow I'm very impressed; it's the first time in mankind history that a
Full Screen application runs on a vanilla VM/370 and you must be proud of
yourself :-)

Regards.

Paul
