         I've been using IRMA WORKSTATION for WINDOWS vers. 1.0.3 wi
DCA's IRMA III 3270 emulator card under Windows 3.0.  I haven't been
very happy with it; a real bear to configure, including the gibberish
manuals. Their QUICKSCRIPT is like pouring honey down a funnel, and that
is on a 33Mhz 386.  Overall a kludgy product.
    When I upgraded to 3.1 I could no longer use WORKSTATION at all.
A couple of calls to MS ( I love the "hang-time" DJ ) and DCA turned
up the welcomed news "YOUR VESION IS NOT SUPPORTED UNDER 3.1"  And only 
a mear $95 would upgrade me to vers. 1.1.0.  But the real catch is even if
I do  fork over for the new update, I probably will have to turn off the
TRUE TYPEs since IRMA insists on using it's own fonts.  

    At this point I'd like to hear if anyone has a favorite 3270
emulator for Windows?  Has anyone worked with AttachMate's EXTRA under
3.1?
