RE: TN5250 emulators

Chris,

Depends on what features you need. We have found Mocha suppport
altho responsive (Jan does get back to you) does not really care
to enhance or support at a usable level.

One of the many issues we have with using Mocha involved the
display of hex fields, tokens, unprintable characters etc.
It either GPF's or hangs because it interprets the character
stream as commands or just gets lost in string operations.
Mocha did not want to test or fix it.

The display fonts and 132 col support is meager or awful depending
on how you look at it. We had real trouble on some pcs getting
a usable, viewable display.

On the other hand it works spiffy on our Symbol pda but the needs
are far less there. Support once again sucked because I had to send
a field exit and Jan couldn't be bothered or see why I wanted to.
Without a keyboard field exit is a challenge.

So, my only point is don't expect client access express. We reviewed
alot of emulators and found the most common factor was that they were
all different and varied wildly on feature set.

Regards

Konrad
