If you're stuck with 3270's the best thing to do is use a UNIX that actually
supports them, and provides tools (editors, etc.) that make them as painless
as they can be made to be. It's even possible to make curses (the library :-)
work with 3270's if you can deal with their half-duplex nature.

I work with Amdahl's UTS (the UNIX described above).

I'll tell you when I'm giving you the party line. The rest of the time
it's my very own ravings (accept no substitutes).
