Re: TN5250 data stream issues -- none of this makes any sense!

I was a contributor on the project many years ago.  I wrote an 
implementation called web5250.  But the code base was heavily refactored 
and my struggle with the code was that the 5250 data stream is poorly 
documented, so much of what I learned was through trial and error.

What are you looking for?  I use tn5250j pretty much exclusively.....
