Re: Tn5250 compile under IBM Aix 5.3

Hi James ,  my principal goal was to compile  TN5250 under AIX for do a port 
on the Iseries under PASE environnment. :-)
My first try under Iseries  and GCC failed (mainly for ncurses libs)so i've 
started to compile it under AIX..
It could be very interesting to have it working under PASE and Iseries.
One more information, if someone of you needs a "spare" AIX or Iseries 
system IBM has the Virtual Loaner program where you can have absolutely free 
of charge a remote IBM Power system for some days ( max 2 weeks) also for 
porting/compiling needs. you need only a IBM account (that is free too). 
This is what i am using now for my tests.
Hope this helps :-)
Ciao.
Alberto.
