- tn3270 updates since version 2.3d26:
-
- ----- Version 2.3d27 11/29/91 -----
- 1. Changed Erase EOF to work for unformatted screens instead of generating
- an error.
- ----- Version 2.3d28 12/17/91 -----
- 1. Fixed a bug which caused the 3270 cursor to disappear in some cases when
- graphics was being displayed. Now the cursor will always appear during
- a graphics display, but may be an unusual color (even at times when the
- cursor was a normal color before this change).
- 2. "Print Screen" now is available as a keyboard function in addition to
- being in the "File" menu. The keyboard mappings supplied with tn3270
- map "Print Screen" to shift-F13 (labelled "print screen") on the ADB
- extended keyboard.
- 3. The "ala" keyboard mapping was renamed to "library", and the "ALA"
- entries in the "National Language" menu were also renamed.
- 4. The "library" keyboard mapping was updated to allow entry of the single
- and double dagger characters. There were also some other minor changes
- to the keyboard mapping.
- 5. The names used to describe "library" characters in keyboard mappings
- were changed to be clearer and more standard.
- 6. The ALA fonts were updated to display a double dagger for the X'1F'
- code point.
- ----- Version 2.3d29 1/17/92 -----
- 1. Fixed a bug which caused tn3270 to crash when its window was dragged
- so that none of the content part of the window was visible.
- ----- Version 2.4d0 1/04/92 -----
- 1. The tn3270 source code has been updated for MPW 3.2.
- 2. tn3270 is now linked with the BYU version of the NCSA TCP/IP code.
- As a result, tn3270 includes additional bug fixes from BYU, and also
- accepts additional keywords in config.tel added by BYU.
- 3. The code in tn3270 for the WMAC Print command now handles page range
- selections more efficiently. Only the selected pages will be sent to the
- print driver instead of all pages. However, all pages must still be
- downloaded from the host.
- ----- Version 2.4d2 2/21/92 -----
- 1. Numerous, extensive changes were made in order to support multiple
- sessions.
- 2. Paste will copy text from the clipboard to the screen at the current
- cursor position. The text is treated as if it were entered from the
- keyboard, with carriage returns being converted to 3270 newline
- operations, and tabs converted to blanks.
- ----- Version 2.4d3 2/23/92 -----
- 1. Fixed a bug which caused a session to not be considered the "front"
- session when the RMAC/WMAC status dialog was at the front.
- 2. Improved the performance of "Paste" and allowed it to work for more
- than 2K of data.
- ----- Version 2.4d4 3/24/92 -----
- 1. Fixed a bug which caused tn3270 to crash when running on a Mac Plus
- or other machines without Color Quickdraw.
- ----- Version 2.4d6 3/26/92 -----
- 1. Add support for tracing network write calls. The tracing is enabled
- by using ResEdit to change the dashed line in the Network menu to
- an enabled text item, such as "Show Write Info". Selecting the item
- the first time will enable tracing. Subseuqent selections will show
- saved information for several previous write calls.
- ----- Version 2.4d7 4/15/92 -----
- 1. For line mode connections, the Control and Escape keys will be
- recognized on those keyboards which include them. The Command key
- will generate control characters only on those keyboards without a
- Control key.
- 2. Line mode keyboard handling has been made more efficient, so that
- typed characters will no longer be lost.
- 3. tn3270 now uses a new, readable settings file format. Files in the new
- format may be edited with word processing programs which have an "open
- any file" option, or by temporarily changing the type of a file from
- 'GFTS' to 'TEXT'. Before returning to the Finder, tn3270 will ask if
- you want to save settings read from an old format file in the new
- format. All new settings file written by tn3270 will be in the new
- format.
- ----- Version 2.4d8 4/21/92 -----
- 1. The keyboard mappings were changed so that the mapping for the "clear"
- key does not also apply to the "esc" key. The "clear" key is now
- mapped by key code instead of by ASCII code.
- 2. Changed the processing of the linefeed control character (in line mode)
- to do a linefeed only, and not a carriage return as well.
- ----- Version 2.4d9 5/15/92 -----
- 1. tn3270 will no longer process host data continuously as long as any
- is available. After 5 seconds it will return to the main event loop to
- allow other processing to continue.
- 2. The code for tracing telnet option negotiation has been updated to
- recognize the names of all currently-defined options.
- 3. The option negotiation code no longer recognizes the "TELOPT_3270"
- option that had been added for test purposes.
- 4. The maximum number of session now defaults to 32, and is defined by
- the MAXS resource number 128. The resource contains the maximum number
- as a 16-bit integer. Any value between 1 and 512 is valid.
- 5. tn3270 now references its fonts by name instead of by number. Also, if
- any of its fonts are present in the System file, those copies will be
- used instead of the copies in tn3270. tn3270 will be able to use the
- fonts in the System file even if installing them caused them to be
- renumbered. As a result of these changes, storing copies of tn3270's
- fonts in the System file will always be sufficient to ensure the fonts
- are available for the Print Screen function.
- 6. Support for the graphics cursor and graphics input mode have been
- added.
- 7. New key mappings have been added: Alt-Cursor default to Command-t,
- and Graphics-Cursor defaults to Command-T. Alt-Cursor toggles the
- text cursor between an underline and a block, and toggles the
- graphics cursor between a cross and crosshairs. When the graphics
- cursor is in use, Graphics-Cursor controls whether the cursor movement
- keys are associated with the text cursor or the graphics cursor. When
- the key are associated with the graphics cursor, "+Cr" appears in the
- status line in the same position where the cursor position display
- appears.
- 8. The graphics code has been improved, so that graphics will often
- work well when no graphics bitmap has been allocated. However, the
- bitmap is necessary for best performance, and is required in order
- to save images in a PICT file.
- 9. tn3270 includes new icons which were contributed by Steve Klingsporn.
