Re: 5250 emulators?

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

And the latest version of Access 5250 runs just fine on 64-bit Windows 7

I believe that this is available online, right? Of course, you have to 
have the license on the i.

IIRC, the service packs are the full product - it used to be, anyhow. No 
other emulator has all the features of Access 5250 - I know, it's 
bloated and all that. But I make such extensive use of things like 
macros that it's worth it.

Actually we (I) use the actual PCOMM product - as a vendor we get it 
through an annual subscription. No user count issues. The product itself 
is maybe a couple hundred bucks, I think, to civilians.
