Subject: Re: Ruby and 3270 terminal emulation

Some time ago when I needed to support 3270, I ended up using s3270 from http://x3270.bgp.nu/ -- this provides a scripting access to 3270 protocol. You send 3270 requests to its standard input and it spits info and screen dumps to the standard output. In my TSC-ACT project at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tsc-act I have 3270 integration via s3270, however there's no official release yet (no easy installation and documentation yet). You can see an example of how I interact with s3270 via IO::popen() in here: http://tsc-act.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tsc-act/trunk/lib/tsc/session/s3270-stream.rb?revision=17&view=markup

Please contact me off-list if you are interested in more details.

Gennady.
