Good point. I have put off sending a bug report because I haven't had
time to make a tracefile (and still don't have one - sorry). tn5250
occasionally crashes when I do STRPASTHR. It may be important that upon
connecting the system displays a message such "Display type not
recognized. Function limited." I get the same message occasionally when
I use an IBM Infowindow II, so I don't think it has anything to do with
tn5250. tn5250 usually dies when I use a program that has windows (I mean
DDS defined windows here - not some non-AS/400 window).
Other than that tn5250 is perfectly stable. Note that this problem was
with 0.16.0-pre2. So far I haven't tried with 0.16.0.
As a side note: how about changing it to accept GNU-style long options?
tn5250 -v or tn5250 --version is more common than tn5250 -version, I
believe. Similarly, tn5250 -u or tn5250 --underscores is probably more
standard wasy of indicating options.
