I thing you should also download Hummingbird TN3270 and then you will be
able to compare both software.

Shmuel correctly hits on one risk of this approach: your implementation
will certainly be no BETTER than theirs.

Another risk: you may be running dangerously close to any
"anti-reverse-engineering" clause that may - I don't know - may be a
prerequisite to a download.

I think those of us who earn our living from intellectual property
should be especially scrupulous about IP rights. You may not agree with
every facet of the commercial software industry, but I think everyone
will agree that anyone ought to be able to sell the fruits of their
labor on whatever terms they choose. We're free not to partake of those
fruits, but we're not free to steal them.

How close is it to a real 3290? Does it support everything that an 3290
has, e.g., the Text character set? Does it support anything that a 3290
does not, e.g., color, APA graphics?
