#WINRT TN5250 INSTALL#
There have been both reports of the standard BSD curses working and not working, so you may have to install GNU curses (ncurses) under *BSD. Make sure you have the ncurses development libraries installed before trying to compile the source. The emulator uses the ncurses library for manipulating the console. Please read these before telling us that the function keys don't work.

Installation instructions specific to your platform exist if you are using Linux or FreeBSD - they are in the linux/ and freebsd/ directories, respectively. To build the emulator simply type the following:Īdditional (but decidedly generic) installation instructions are available in the file `INSTALL' included in this distribution. Furthermore, for the enhanced 5250 protocol 0.17.x is required. Even so, 0.17.x is quite stable and in production at several sites. If you are looking for a stable emulator, get the latest 0.16.x version. This, the 0.17.x series, is the development series and may cause severe headaches and stomach cramps, if only due to the quality of code. Contributed keyboard maps and termcap entries for FreeBSD are in this tarball as well (see freebsd/README for more information). It was originally an implementation for Linux, but it has been reportedly compiled on a number of other platforms. This is an implementation of the 5250 telnet protocol. Have a look at a screenshot for an example. This function is the same as that provided by the 5250 emulator in IBM iSeries Access. Tn5250 project is a telnet client for the IBM iSeries and AS/400 that emulates 5250 terminals and printers.
