Retaliator? Never heard of it - can you describe it a bit?

Nope; Modem Wars is a) commercial and b) out of production. It's by Dan
Bunten, of Command HQ and Global Conquest (and M. U. L. E.) fame.

>Retaliator? Never heard of it - can you describe it a bit?

Retaliator is a flight simulator that lets you play head to head over
the modem, or take fly the missions built into the game.
You fly one of two experimental jet aircraft, the F29 and
I forget the other.  When playing head to head -- you have
unlimited different range air-to-air & air-to-ground missiles
plus a chain gun.  You take off from 2 different airports and have
the option of jamming radar -- inwhich you can't see him, he can't
see you on radar, or not.  You can turn on ECM, which may help you
dodge a missle.  You each have 3 lives and must track the other
down and kill.  One Point is awarded for destroying an enemy and
one for destroying a specific ground target, pointed out by your
display.  You can adjust the radar for 360 degree medium range
sweep or 90 degree forward facing long-range sweep.

Overall I'd rate it pretty high.  Sometimes the modem connection
drops if one of the players crashes into the ground, but otherwise
the connection performs well.

In my case I went to a local department store, the salespeople can tell
you as much as a mail order advertisement can, and anything else can be
figured out for yourself, just bring something like Norton utilities along
and do a benchmark, besides if you get a lemon all you have to do is drive
to the store you bought it from and get a new one, the biggest plus is that
I got a 3 year warrantee for a mear $39 and the price was very comparable
to mail order, and yes Soundblaster pro doubles as a joystick port, some
say it is better than most.

In most areas of wuarchive, they have an index that is specific to the subdirec
tory that you are currently in. These files are called 00-index.txt and give
the type of descriptions you are interested in. These are not indexes to the
whole system, and I doubt if something like that exists. Also, I am not sure if
they bother creating such an index for the MSDOS_UPLOADS directory, but it's
worth a try.

I've floated this query out into the ether a couple times before, but

Does ANYONE out there have a lead on where I can obtain tn3270 for
UNIX Sys V? It exists in so many implementations that it is hard to
believe that this one has been overlooked, but -- so far -- this seems
to be the case. I would be delighted to be proven wrong. Any
worthwhile leads appreciated!

/and Clarkson CUTCP have it. The problem is that when an "unformatted"
/3270 screen is presented, "unformatted" being a 3270 screen with
/absolutely no attribute byte (very rare) - the TN3270 implementation
/does not allow input (as if the whole screen is protected). If this
/is your problem (it happens mainly in CICS, and also in SAGs COM-PLETE)
/- then there is not much hope... It is a bug in the code that has not
/been fixed yet.Commercial versions of TN3270 (like FTP Software's, IBM,
/etc.) seem not to have this bug.

We had a problem with CUTCP accessing a CICS application that had an
"unformatted" screen.  With the cursor at position 1,1 if we keyed
any capital letter, the rest of the screen behaved as a protected field.
If we keyed a lower case letter in position 1,1, the rest of the screen
appeared to be unprotected. Odd.

Alan, I seem to remember people complaining about CICS problems in the past
where the order of the fields presented to CICS was the problem; tn3270
didn't always present fields in the same order as a real 3270, causing
CICS to not be willing to accept what you were entering.

CUTCP/CUTE is PC TN3270 emulation software from Clarkson University.  We 
have run into a problem using CUTCP/CUTE with an IMS system.  I posted 
the description of the problem to the cutcp list, but no one had a 
solution.  It was suggested that I post the problem here.

When using CUTCP/CUTE to access IMS, when you move from record to record 
in the database, the previous record's fields are incompletely blanked out.  
Only the first character is blanked.  Also, the software allows the user to 
attempt to enter an alpha character in a numeric field.

We have not found these problems with other PC-based TN3270 programs we have 
tested.  However, we were able to replicate the problems by using PCPLUS to 
log in to a unix account, and running TN3270 from there into an IMS system.

Because of the number of users we now have wanting to use PC-based TN3270 to 
access IMS, we are anxious to solve this problem.  Has anyone else 
experienced this, and does anyone know of a fix.

Thanks.

John

Has anyone seen a problem with ucb tn3270 going to CICS? I can  
successfully tn3270 to a VM host, dial VTAM, select my CICS, do
a CSSN, but then when I want to type in the transaction to get into
the application I want, CICS seems unable to recognize it.  This same
stuff seems to work correctly with Clarkson TCP.  Also, if I tn3270
to VM and then use the Telnet client from there it fails to work.
However, if I get onto the host via a control unit (e.g. 7171) and
either go straight to vmvtam or use the telnet client and do the dial,
it works.  Sounds like one of those alternate 3270 command things that
VM never uses is being handled incorrectly....
