Hi, one thing which I prefer when using any sort of terminal program is
setting the mouse pointer to follow the cursor. That way if I type a
command and quickly need to review the output, I just press numpad-8 to
move the mouse pointer one line up from where it last moved. This also
comes in handy if using menu style programs where a highlight may move
and we see it as a cursor. Also, if you are in a menu and you quickly
need to read certain parts of the screen such as a customer database
entry, user windows may help.
Thanks.

I'm glad to hear that it works with Window-Eyes. Yeah, I figured on
the mouse key review action. I had to do that with Extra too and I
can't see any other way to do that anyway because 3270 stuff is
largely full screen oriented anyway. Did you have any issues with
having to redraw screens to keep the Off Screen Model current?
Were you able to access all functions of the program?

Hi,
I have used hummingbird and it is somewhat accessable. The vt100 emulation
works well, but, you need to use the mouse keys to read the terminal screen.
This is the case with all of the emulaters I have used I.e. putty, telnet
and so on. This package can utilize many emulations including 3270.
Warm Regards.. Joe Lanier

Subject: 3270 Terminal Emmulation Software
I have come into a new programming gig in California at an IBM facility
where they use a software package called "Humming Bird" to connect the PC to
the mainframe for 3270 terminal access. Has anyone heard of this software
and if so, how well might it work with Window-Eyes?
I just got offered this job and expect to start a week from this Monday! If
Humming Bird turns out to be a bust with WE, then I think they are willing
to be flexible with an alternative. I happen to own a personal copy of
Extra for Windows version 6.5 that I can bring in but I would like to see or
know in advance if their native stuff would work instead.
Thanks for any ideas and input.
