I agree that it is always better to use the IBM docs and hardware as the
reference.  There is enough information in them to write a complete 3290
emulation.

In response to Shmuel's questions... We implemented split and vsplit for
a customer who was being forced (in the name of progress ; )) to give up
his real 3290 terminal.  Our goal was to support 62 x 160, split and
vsplit.  BlueZone already had support for Explicit Partitions, Graphics,
Programmed Symbols, Extended Attributes, etc.  I am not sure how some of
those non-3290 features would work in split and vsplit modes.  If you
have any specific questions about it, feel free to contact me off line.

Charles Mills brings up a good point about intellectual properly rights.
I have no authority to approve the reverse engineering of anything.  I
am not a lawyer and cannot render an opinion on what the language in any
click-wrap agreement actually means.  It is always better to err on the
side of caution.  All statements and opinions I post are my own and not
the company's.
