Hello Pete,

great to hear some acitivity from this corner.

The screenscraper works for one of our customers and is tailored to their 
screen layouts. Still have to do some bugfixes for them shortly, so I can 
send some screenshots on the list to give an idea to what it looks like. 
We were now discussing internally whether we were going to apply the 
scraper to our own screens, or build some kind of Swing gui components on 
top of the stream: a table for a subfile, a label for static text, a 
textfield for fields etc. The idea is to be able to build swing panels 
that read and write their data from the screen. The buttons and menu's 
would call function keys etc to do screen transitions and move to the next 
swing panel. What do you think? For us it is just to be able to quickly 
roll out GUIs until we find the time to reengineer the apps in full GUI 
apps.

The 1200 codepage is provided in JT400. However I can not find the 1208. I 
wonder however if those are supported if they're not in de toolbox. Or are 
the numbers provider here not the AS/400 numberings?

Regards,
wim

[Tn5250j-general] Checking in on the project






Gee....been kinda quiet around here.  Must mean we are all gainfully 
employed and busy?

A couple of questions (just to blow the dust of the list!):

1. Wim, a while back you talked about a screenscraper project you were 
involved in that used tn5250j components.  Where are you on that?  I'd 
love to know what you are doing in that area since I think tn5250j has 
some powerful tools in that would be useful.

2. Also, in general, how hard is it to add code page support, 
specifically for 1200 and 1208?  There was a post in midrange.com from 
someone looking for an emulator that supported those code pages.  I 
didn't see it in the list of supported code pages (not in JT400 
either).  I'd like to help this guy out if I could, I just don't know 
how difficult it is to support other code pages.

Thanks!

Pete Helgren

P.S. Kenneth are you out there ?  How is it going?
