Re: Run time error in TN5250.EXE version 0.17.4 for Windows

Scott,

That build fixes the crash issue.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this, especially since it's right 
in the middle of a holiday period.  I very much appreciate it.

Additionally, for whatever it's worth, I've learned a great deal from 
your various iSeries-related articles, such as the e-book "Working with 
the IFS in RPG IV"

Happy Holidays.
