IBM 3270 EMULATION FOR LAN WORKPLACE/LAN WORKGROUP
εεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεε
TN3270 for MS Windows is a LAN WorkPlace/LAN WorkGroup
application that lets you use Telnet connections to log into
IBM mainframe host computers connected to your networked PC
workstation via a TCP/IP internetwork.
The TN3270 for MS Windows program allows you to run IBM host
applications by emulating standard IBM 3270 terminal
capabilities. TN3270 for MS Windows emulates IBM 3278 Models
2, 3, 4, and 5. It allows you to transfer files to and from
IBM host computers.
An extensive online help system is included with TN3270 for MS
Windows that provides explanations and step-by-step procedures
for all application features.
Because this application will become a standard component of
the LAN WorkPlace and LAN WorkGroup products in future
releases, it is being provided free of charge to all existing
LAN WorkPlace/LAN WorkGroup customers. If you have licensed
LAN WorkPlace or LAN WorkGroup v4.1 or later, your license
includes the right to use this new software. You can instantly
extend your connectivity to include your IBM CICS/VS, MVS/TSO,
and VM/CMS hosts.
TN3270 for MS Windows is for MS Windows users only. DOS users
can purchase the optional TN3270 for LAN WorkPlace product from
Novell.
In addition to this NetWire release, TN3270 for MS Windows is
available on 3-1/2 inch diskettes. A manual, the TN3270 for MS
Windows User's Guide, is included with the diskettes. The
price for this package is [30, which includes the right to make
copies of the diskettes for all LAN WorkPlace and LAN WorkGroup
users throughout your organization.
The ordering number for this product package is:
00662644003191

===============================================================
INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT FROM NETWIRE
εεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεε
Binary file W3270.EXE contains the LAN WorkPlace TN3270 for MS
Windows v4.1 installation utility and files in archive form.
See the FILE LIST later in this document for details.
Follow these steps to extract the files archived in W3270.EXE
and install this product.
1. Copy the file W3270.EXE to a temporary directory on your
hard disk or file server.
W3270.EXE is an archive file that contains the compressed
TN3270 for MS Windows files. Because the W3270.EXE file is
about 650 KB in size, you can store the file on a diskette but
you cannot expand the files it contains on a diskette.
2. Extract the archived files by typing:
W3270 <Enter>
<Enter> means press the Enter key.
3. Run LAN WorkPlace or LAN WorkGroup.
These programs normally run when you start up your PC
workstation. Usually a batch file, LANWP.BAT or LANWG.BAT, is
run to load TCP/IP and supporting modules. Refer to your LAN
WorkPlace or LAN WorkGroup documentation if you need
assistance.
4. Run MS Windows.
MS Windows may run automatically when you restart your
workstation, or you may need to enter a command to run MS
Windows. Refer to the Microsoft Windows User's Guide for the
specific command for your configuration.
5. Select Run from the Program Manager's File menu.
6. Type the following in the Command Line text box.
<drive:path>setup.exe
where <drive:path> is the location of the extracted W3270
files. For example, if you copied W3270.EXE to
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP, you would type:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\SETUP.EXE
7. Click OK.
8. Follow the onscreen prompts.
You can exit from the installation program if necessary by
pressing the <Esc> key.
When the message "Thank you for choosing Novell LAN WorkPlace
TN3270 for MS Windows" is displayed, the product is installed
and ready for you to use.
After successful installation, the TN3270 icon should be
present in your LAN WorkPlace program group. To start TN3270
for MS Windows, double-click the icon.
LAN WorkGroup administrators can make TN3270 for MS Windows
available to all workgroup members by logging into the
workgroup server as SUPERVISOR before proceeding with the above
installation procedure. Workgroup members can then configure
the TN3270 icon on their workstation. For details of this
procedure, refer to the TN3270 for MS Windows User's Guide.
===============================================================
DOCUMENTATION UPDATES
εεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεεε
The following information became available after publication of
the LAN WorkPlace TN3270 for MS Windows User's Guide:
Terminal Session Window During File Transfers
When the Send or Receive command is selected from the Transfer
menu, the terminal session window remains displayed and is not
iconized. Status information is returned in the send or
receive windows, not the terminal session window.
MS Windows Accelerator Keys
You can enable the MS Windows editing accelerator keys for the
editing functions available in the terminal session window,
Config Keyboard Map window, and Config Keypad Map window. To
enable the accelerator keys, check the Accelerator option on
the Open Session window.
TN3270 for MS Windows implements the following MS Windows
editing accelerator keys.
Terminal session window:
<Ctrl - C> Copy
<Ctrl - V> Paste
Config Keyboard Map and Config Keypad Map windows:
<Ctrl - C> Copy
<Ctrl - V> Paste
<Ctrl - X> Cut
<Ctrl - E> Exchange
<Ctrl - Z> Undo
Any 3270 functions that were mapped to these accelerator key
combinations are not available in the terminal session window
when the accelerator keys are enabled. You can invoke these
functions from the Active Function List or remap the keyboard
if you need to make these functions available on other keys.
Shift Key Functions
On the Active Keyboard Map window, the keyboard shift keys,
including <Caps Lock>, <Num Lock>, <Wnd>, and <APL>, are
disabled and are shown dimmed. To access these key functions,
press the corresponding keys on the keyboard.
===============================================================
SOFTWARE UPDATES
εεεεεεεεεεεεεεεε
The following software updates have been made since the
publication of the LAN WorkPlace TN3270 for MS Windows User's
Guide.
Block Mode Copy
When you check Select Block Mode in the terminal session window
(this is the default mode) and try to select a block that
includes all of the screen columns, sometimes only the first
column is copied.
If you want to copy all of the screen columns, you can check
Select Line Mode on the Edit menu and select the text line by
line.
Accessing Shift States
On certain keyboards, to access the functions provided by the
Alt-Shifted state you must hold down both <Alt> and <Shift>
while pressing the key. If the Alt-Shifted functions are not
accessible on your keyboard when you press <Alt> alone, try
holding down both <Alt> and <Shift>.
Saving New Keypad Map Files
If you use the New command on the File menu of the Config
Keypad Map window to create a new keypad mapping file, you may
receive an error message when you try to use the Save command
to save the new keypad map. If this happens, use the Save As
command instead.
Telnet Server Incompatibility
A problem is known to exist when accessing IBM hosts through
TPX. TPX is a multisession terminal emulation manager for MVS.
The problem is caused by the sequence in which TPX expects to
perform Telnet option negotiation. This problem does not
affect Novell's TN3270 for DOS product.
If you find that you cannot access a host computer that is
running TPX, use DOS TN3270 instead of TN3270 for MS Windows.
You can obtain the DOS TN3270 for LAN WorkPlace product from
Novell (refer to the phone numbers listed earlier in this
file).
