Re: tn5250j on Linux with Java 1.5.0

Hello all

Saw the messages.  I think that is a great idea you all have.  Do not 
want to see the project go to the wayside.

Patrick I have not lost interest but lost access to an AS/400.  Actually 
have not slung any java code in quite a few months as most of the work 
has been .NET lately and systems work.

Actually put in a bid at one of my old clients to rewrite their Teller 
system and am still waiting on them to decide.  If the contract comes 
through I will then have access.

Pete will have to look at all the bug reports out there to see which 
have been fixed or not.

I can help with the general knowledge of the system but probably not any 
code so the programmers out there will have to carry the load for any fixes.

Other than that would love to see things rolling again.

As far as updates and bug fixes go everyone out there participating on 
the list has CVS developer access so the only thing stopping bug fixes 
and enhancements is people actually changing the code and making the 
updates.

If you guys feel that branching the project is in your best interests 
please go ahead and do so.  You can set up another project if you feel 
that would be better for you as well.  I hope you do not feel the need 
but thought it best that I let you know that as can not lend any real 
code slinging at this time.

Regards

Kenneth
