Kirk, I use x3270 on centos (and windows) quit intensively. it works very well. however, I was not able to activate it under my macbook laptop. this is why I use mocha TN3270 on my mack. beside the fact that is doesn;t support ind$file it is reasonable product. I use filezilla to transfer files.

FWIW, We have used x3270 on linux for many years, and it works fine for us. Granted, I don't work in a 3270 very much; most of my z/OS work is in a ssh shell or ant+ssh scripts. (We also use a internal python wrapper that starts x3270 through an ssh tunnel with passticket automation

He's not talking about Vista the Windows OS, but rather Vista, Tom Brennan's emulator. Wine is a light-weight app that can run Windows programs by converting API calls on the fly. I used it years ago, so I don't know how well it works these days. I actually run the Vista emulator under VMware

Re: Looking for tn3270 emulator that can run on macOS 10.15.2 (Catalina)

I don't really like Vista and always prefer a native solution if possible, although admittedly that's something of a logical fallacy when you are emulating 3270 terminals! Jim On Fri, 3 Jan 2020 21:02:35 +0800, David Crayford wrote: >Why not just run Vista over Wine? > >On 2020-01-03 7:18

Unfortunately, x3270 and c3270 really suck! You won't find a native 3270 emulator on macOS that's any good. That may change as the web based 3270 emulators get better (Zowe has one). Guys with Macs in my team use Windows 3270 emulators running on Wine. There are a few quirks like macOS

Since the Catalina version of macOS is 64-bit only, any 32-bit tn3270 emulators no longer work on the macOS. I found ZOC, and I'm trying it out but was wondering if there are any other products out there. Another option is to try and build a copy x3270 or c3270 for use on macOS. Not being a
