Yes, BSD tn3270 fails in certain instances with CICS (independent of
whose tn3270 server as the servers simply pass the 3270 datastream
through without mucking with it).  I believe it has been described as
a totally unformatted screen.  I can reproduce this at will on CICS
by doing a clear screen and then on the blank screen trying to type a
transaction name.  Look back a few weeks in this newsgroup and you will
see where I posted questions abouts this.  This is a bug in the 3270
emulator in BSD tn3270. Clarkson tn3270 on DOS works right, as does the 
unix 3270 program by Marvin Solomon of U. Wisconsin. and J. Michael Gerard 
of CERN.

So I guess you have to go fix your BSD tn3270-derived emulator now:-)

Does anyone have experience with writing a tn3270 
server implementation-- specifically regarding how
to handle SSCP data being passed to the TN3270 client?

Is the TN3270 server required to format the data into
3270 datastream format, or would it just pass it through?

If the TN3270 server is required to format the data, then
it would seem the server would have to go through all the
trouble of providing {effectively} a 3270 emulation application
just for the duration of the SSCP/LU session. When the LU/LU
session is established it would obviously just pass the data
through. Seems like an awful lot of work for one screen!

Is there some kind of telnet negotation that would obviate the
need to do this, or some other approach that would not require
the above?

Thx for hints/pointers/etc.

I think this is not absolutely the case; Clarkson CUTCP *does* have the
problem - I have first bumped into this problem with CUTCP... At least
it had it when I last checked.

Learning and Instructional Psychologist

Through the National Research Council (NRC) Research Awards
Program, the U. S. Army Research Institute (ARI) in Alexandria,
Virginia, is seeking a one-year term (with extension possibility)
Postdoctoral Research Fellow in learning and instructional
psychology.  The main responsibility of this position is to derive
prescriptive implications for the development of training systems
from the review of various learning theories and research findings
that are basically descriptive in nature.  Thus, the successful
candidate should have substantial knowledge in learning theories
and some familiarity with instruction or training.  The ability to
quickly review various forms of learning theory literature and to
write analytical abstracts is important.  Knowledge and skill in
computer technology, including computer-based instruction, and
experience in teaching or instructional development would be
helpful, but not required.  Since the task requires not only to
analytically organize the results of literature reviews, but also
to coordinate related ideas and opinions of several learning and
instructional psychologists at ARI, willingness to listen to others
and reflect their valid views in structuring and performing the project
is critical.  The final product of this project is expected to be a
book, while journal articles and conference papers may be produced
as the interim reports.  This fellow will work for the Automated
Instructional Systems Technical Area in the ARI Training Systems
Research Division that currently employs more than a dozen learning
and training psychologists.  Salary will be commensurate with
experience and qualifications according to the NRC standard.
Those who are interested in this position and would like to be pre-
evaluated, are encouraged to send a vita, including telephone
numbers of references, to Dr. Robert J. Seidel, U. S. Army Research
Institute, 5001 Eisenhowever Ave., Alexandria, VA 22333-5600.
Samples of research reports will be helpful for the evaluation.

Don,

I used a calculation icon within an interaction icon to do
this. The calculation icon was "active if condition
"IconTitle=so and so" is TRUE.  Then, within the calculation
icon, I used "GoTo(IconID@"whatever"&IconID@"whatever else")"

Try this or some configuration similar and see what works.  I
found the error trapping capabilities of AuthorWare to be MOST
helpful in trying various schemes...most of the time the error
trapping just wouldn't let me mess up things too badly.  Good
luck and let me know how it goes.

I think your idea about a venue for sharing problems/questions
about AuthorWare is a good one.  EdTech may be just the place to
locate folks with this interest.

At long last, an archive of Space Digest is available for anonymous
ftp on julius.cs.qub.ac.uk in pub/SpaceDigestArchives.

Each volume of space digest going back to V1 in 1981 is available as
a single tar.Z file. Early volumes are quite reasonable in size.
Recent ones are a bit out of hand due to people reposting large
bodies of usually unnecessary text.

For those who have Digital Librarian, each volume is pre-indexed. The
index makes it an extremely valuable research tool.

The file sizes run from 1-9 MB.

As movies ads would say 5 YEARS IN THE MAKING. I believe Gene Miya
and Henry Spencer and I first started discussing the need for this in
1986 or 87.

And I wish to thank the help and encouragement in this project over
the years (most of which were spent in procrastination, but that's
beside the point):

        Ted Anderson
        Eugene Miya
        Todd Masco
        Mark Maimone
        Bill Higgins
        Henry Spencer

There is a README file that describes where the issues came from and
lists what is currently missing/truncated, etc. I will try to fill in
the gaps over the next 5 years :-)

I will update from time to time as the holes are filled in. The
current volume will always be available from isu.isunet.edu. I may or
may not have it on line here until it "closes".

PS: This might as well be added to the FAQ resource list.

Subject:      WordPerfect Assessment Tools

I have been asked to figure out what the training needs are for an
Institute with a fluctuating staff of up to 40 who almost all use
WordPerfect 5.1.  Some seem fairly expert and others are new student
employees with almost no experience.  Probably training will be a
series of short workshops geared to providing additional help for
those who are weak in specific designated areas.

What I don't know is how best to determine how much people do know,
and what topics it would be most beneficial to address.  I know
employment agencies do some kind of assessment on WordPerfect skills,
but I've never seen it sold and don't know if it's diagnostic.

Do any of you have a recommendation of a good, easy to administer,
useful and not too expensive assessment tool, for discovering what
the level of WordPerfect expertise in an office staff is?

Subject:      Mac LC II and Apple IIe software

At Messiah College, we just purchased some Mac LC II units with IIe cards and
are running System 7.0.1 everywhere.  As far as I know, we have not had ANY
problems yet.  I will post info to the list about any problems if we have any
for the benefit of anyone else who may be having problems.

Some possible suggestions though (don't know if they are relevant or not):

Make sure after you set up your LC II units, with System 7.0.1 pre-installed,
that you also run the System 7 "tune-up" program included on a separate disk.

This guarantees that you are using Apple's latest bug fixes, etc. which are
significant according to the Apple dealers.

Also, use a more recent Apple IIe startup program if possible.  Not sure if
there have been any changes, but just an extra precaution.

WE have not had ANY problems yet, but I would also be interested in knowing of
any problems people are having with Apple II software on any LC using the IIe
card.  We depend on it heavily in our elementary ed. program.

Organization: Virginia's Public Education Network (Norfolk)

Joan,

      	All of the discussion you hear and will hear about
incompatibility between Mac LC and Apple IIe software is caused
by trying to run certain IIe "copy-protected" software on the
Mac.  The operating system on Mac is not the cause of
difficulty!

       When Apple Dos 3.3 was the only operating system for
Apple, the developers found they could defeat existing disk
copy systems by making certain changes in the disk operating
system.  As the copy systems became more sophisticated, so did
the schemes used for copy protection.  The net result is a
bunch of old Apple IIe disks out there with messed up DOS which
are not bootable by Mac LC.  The Mac looks for a faithful copy of
the Dos 3.3 system.

	If you find such a problem with newly purchased  programs,
return them to the vendor as "defective".  If enough people will do
this, they will stop selling you these mutulated disks.  If you
would like to know the worst offenders, call me via phone - I
am located in Portsmouth.

EONS ago, I saw a piece of software running on a MAC.It was probably yhe
summer of 89(?) and it was on a Plus or SE type machine and it emulated an
Apple II.  The computer had an external 5.25 (or one of the II's had a 3.25).
On the screen it showed an Apple II w/ keyboard & drives & monitor.  You could
click on the keys to type (or type regular) and you could click on the drives
to selete them, somehow (clicking?) youcould get the moniter to take up the
whole screen. It looked like a regualar Apple II, even the funny way it
cleared the screen (with those funny lines).

I've mentioned this to several people and NO ONE ever knows what I'm talking
about.  Has anyone ever seen this? It seemed to run at a pretty good clip and
I wouldn't mind finding out more about it.

Thanks
