Subject: Win95 and Win3270 - winsock problem
I am attempting to use WIN3270 , using a modem and ppp connection.
I can connect via PPP, and run NETSCAPE for example, with no problem,
but WIN3270 is looking for WINSOCK.DLL (instead of the new WSOCK32.DLL)
If I install winsock.dll, I get an error "can't find TCPMAN.EXE".
Is this a known problem & is there a fix? (or do I have somthing in
WIN3270 set up wrong?)
Thanks for any help.

Louis,
You appear to be running the 16-bit version of TCP3270 on Windows 95. This
is a fully supported environment. From the error message, I gather that
you somehow inherited the Trumpet Winsock DLL in the TCP3270 program
directory (or path).
If you use the TCP/IP support that comes with Windows 95, you can run
16 and 32-bit apps (WINSOCK.DLL and WSOCK32.DLL) over LAN and over the
SLIP/PPP connections using the Windows 95 dialer.
If you use other TCP/IP stacks, then you may not have that flexibility.
The older stacks only support 16-bit apps (WINSOCK.DLL) and if you have
a newer 32-bit dialer stack, it may not have a 16-bit thunk DLL.
Check your files.

George, I got net3270 to work. It turned out to the ipx/spx source
routing setting . I had it set to OFF and it should have been 16 bit.
Changing this made everything work.

The manual says that the system goes into a wait state until the DFT
link is reactivated. Is there a prescribed method for doing this?
None of the VMSERV commands seem to do anything. I got it back by
doing a stop command on the DFTSERV machine and then restarting it.
No reboot, no power off reset.
It seems that the DFTSERV software is not really great at "reseting"
itself.
Also what is:
"11:12:01.73 Reset command decoded by coax adapter."
What caused this? Is it my 327x controller? Is it a hardware?
Did the host software issue it? Is it to be expected? Is there
anything I can do about it?

Well, actually, my comment was that, yes we still have not release
NET3270 for Windows 3.x yet and there appear to be some problems with
NET3270 for Windows on Windows 95. I never mentioned that it had to do
with Token Ring. I believe that Microsoft's IPX/SPX support is not
perfect (once again)...
Pierre
***************************************
What gets around the problem in all cases, is to completely delete ALL
network support under windows 95. Then install the network drivers
using the instructions from Novell. Magically this seems to hide or
get around the various network communications problems we have had
with win95. For what its worth, on the token ring side, we have only
done this with Olicom token ring cards. I have no IBM token ring
cards in machines running win95.
Hope this helps

------- I'm running NET3270 on WIN 95 and having no problems, We are
not running it for all our users yet but with all the new PCs coming
out with WIN 95 pre-installed, I wanted to try it out. I had some
problems initially but once I installed Novell's new 32 bit client it
worked great. I heard from McGill that we'd have to wait until
release 3.0 of NET3270 was out to support WIN 95 but I don't find that
to be so. If you want any specifics on my install, call me at

Hi fellow 'netters,
My name is Jennie Winslow and I recently started using a magazine
subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription
deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them.
They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country
on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they
more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for
most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles.
Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their
competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price
guarantee.
Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half
of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some
titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They
feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people
buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes
or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to
make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper
than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the
publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half
their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new
members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language.
Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and
cut-out all the middlemen.
They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and
juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of
all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.
Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student.
I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my
part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully
follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail.
They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are
less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other
times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet.
They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it.
They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I
haved moved from one country to another.
They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from
a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will
give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them
to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular
USA titles they sell.
They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have
clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a
charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie
subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to
be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change
when I moved from one country to another.
The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members"
(even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase
automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts
as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls
you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes
he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he
insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I
sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future
orders (after your first order) via E-mail.
He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know
just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas,
he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he
still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long
distance rates are cheaper then.
He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing
members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had
a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they
could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately
when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new
members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased
their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above
form to them, that is the way to get started!

they sell.
They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of
free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what
he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly,
no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and
answer all your questions.
Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.
Sincerely,
Jennie Winslow
ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net
who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join
and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for
each new person you get to join after you join! If you exceed 25
referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas,
Chanukah or any other occasion. Please be kind enough to mention my name
when you join. I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring
you.
Thank you.

Subject: Scripting with WIN-3270
I am running WIN-3270 and have a need to be able to run a script of
mainframe commands. In exploring the WIN-3270 documentation, I have
discovered the DDE and VB interfaces which may serve my purpose but
the learning curve is too great from where I am today and what I need
to do.
Back when we used the DOS version of Net-3270, there was shipped an
unsupported program called HLLSCR.EXE which would process a script. I
never used it at the time. The documentation file for this makes me
think that this is just what I am searching for.
Questions:
Will HLLSCR.EXE work with WIN-3270, Ver 2.6?
Is there a Windows version of this program that I should be using?
What is the latest version? My HLLSCR.EXE is dated 12/6/91.
Thanks in advance.

HLLSCR is a DOS program that provides primitive scripting for the
DOS product. With the Windows version 3.0 of TCP3270 or NET3720, you
use the built-in macro language. NET3270 for Windows 3.0 will be released
later this month.

Hi fellow 'netters,
My name is Michal Hirschberger and I recently started using a magazine
subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription
deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them.
They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country
on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they
more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for
most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles.
Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their
competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price
guarantee.
Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half
of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some
titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They
feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people
buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes
or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to
make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper
than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the
publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half
their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new
members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language.
Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and
cut-out all the middlemen.
They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and
juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of
all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by
categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that
they sell.
Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student.
I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my
part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully
follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail.
They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are
less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other
times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet.
They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it.
They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I
haved moved from one country to another.
They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from
a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will
give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them
to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular
USA titles they sell.
They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have
clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a
charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie
subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to
be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change
when I moved from one country to another.
The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members"
(even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase
automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts
as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls
you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes
he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he
insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I
sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future
orders (after your first order) via E-mail.
He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know
just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas,
he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he
still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long
distance rates are cheaper then.
He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing
members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had
a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they
could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately
when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new
members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased
their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above
form to them, that is the way to get started!

They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of
free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what
he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly,
no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and
answer all your questions.
Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.

you.

I have one user who is considered "legally" blind. For the most part he
makes use of DOS applications. The Windows environment does nothing for
him. I would like to be able to create "connect" macros for him, but it
looks like the 2.2 version of NET3270 had no macro features. If there
is a 3.0 NET3270, will it include any macro functions? He has some
"DOS" based text to speech programs which also tend to keep him in the

Will there be a DOS TCP3270? Will it include macro capability?

What version of WIN3270 are you running?
I am also running Win95 and have just-about-daily "lockups"/abends
with it. One that seems to happen is if I minimize NETSCAPE while it
is "working" (waiting for info) then it seems to blow up. Personally
I've been blaming these sort of things on Win95 and not on the "client"
software. I've also had TCP3270 (2.60 & 3.00) blow up at different
times. I've also blown up the explorer, VB 4.0, MSN, etc. etc. I'm
running it on two different machines. One at work that is ethernet
adapter connected and one at home that is ppp/modem connected.
I seem to have "fewer" abends if I don't "minimize" or background any
task which is waiting for data...
It "seemed" that my problems on the ethernet machine got worse when I
removed the 16-bit device drivers and switched to Microsofts 32-bit
NE2000 compatible built in drivers.

Karl,
Thanks for your insights. I'm running WIN3270 2.60.11. My lockups also
occur when a task which is running in the background gets data/information
to the screen. Windows 95 usually blames Netscape for the errors but if
you get additional details about the problem Win3270 is usually the program
in control.
I'm also currently running the Microsoft ethernet drivers. When I have time
I plan on testing the Novell drivers. Anyone have experience with the Novell
drivers?

I have been running Windows 95 from home using Microsoft's PPP. I have
experienced the problems with the system bombing while running Netscape
and other applications without TCP3270 running at all. I would thus
conclude that TCP3270 is not the cause of the problem.
You also asked:

Yes... running IPX over PPP into a Netware 3.1 server.
Everything worked "out of the box" with no problems...yet.
There are some known problems... check the Microsoft
Windows 95 home page on the web: http://www.microsoft.com/Windows
The one problem I recall had to do with printing and e-mailing
using queues... a bug clobbers the first few bytes of the message.

Actually, there are a number of programs for the blind people for Windows
and I know they work because we do have someone who has been testing
them and using TCP3270 for Windows successfully for quite some time.
If you need some info, please send me e-mail directly.
You won't be seeing any advanced macro language in the DOS version because
we are trying to keep the footprint small. Your best bet is something like
Prokey (if it still exists).

Subject: Net3270 & keyboard lock up on CICS send maps
Sorry if this has been dealt with before. We're running Net3270 for
Windows Version 2.60.01 {Jan. 3, 1995} and have experienced some
strange things with CICS app's. We have several servers acting as
Net3270 gateways. The one I'm hooked up to works fine, but my clients
are running on another 3270 gateway server and on CICS update
functions they need to "reset" the keyboard before they can get CICS
app's to accept an update transaction. (When data is entered and
validated we present the map with a confirmation message and prompt
the terminal operator to "Hit enter to update". The problem is they
ALWAYS have to hit "reset" (Escape, I think) before the "Enter" key
stroke will be recognized.
I checked for differences in the desktop configurations of Net3270
and changed my client's setup parameters to match my own and this did
not eliminate the problem. This made me suspect that it has something to do
with how our gateway servers are configured, but so far our net guys
haven't come up with an answer. In the past we've modified CICS code to add
freekeyboard parameters to the CICS SEND MAP commands - and this will
eliminate the problem, but it's an "ugly" single point solution.
This has become a growing problem for us, with more of our clientele
moving off of SNA connections and onto our Novell network servers.
Any tips or suggestions to try would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Dear Bill,
Sorry to say I have no help, just sympathy. We have experienced the same
problem here at Loyola University. Certain CICS applications did not free the
keyboard and the users needed to use the key (esc) in order to
continue
working. We were able to duplicate this condition using an actual non-SNA
local
controller. Since this is the type of device that NET3270 emulates, we
figured
this
condition is normal. I am very surprised to hear that things work differently
on
your two different gateways.
Are both gateways going to the same VTAMSERV started task on the
mainframe or are there two, one for each gateway? If two, then the difference
could be in VTAMSERV.

Sorry if this has been dealt with before. We're running Net3270 for
Windows Version 2.60.01 {Jan. 3, 1995} and have experienced some strange
things with CICS app's. We have several servers acting as
Net3270 gateways. The one I'm hooked up to works fine, but my clients are
running on another 3270 gateway server and on CICS update functions they
need to "reset" the keyboard before they can get CICS app's to accept an
update transaction. (When data is entered and validated we present the map
with a confirmation message and prompt the terminal operator to "Hit enter to
update". The problem is they
ALWAYS have to hit "reset" (Escape, I think) before the "Enter" key stroke
will
be
recognized.
I checked for differences in the desktop configurations of Net3270 and changed
my client's setup parameters to match my own and this did not eliminate the
problem. This made me suspect that it has something to do with how our
gateway servers are configured, but so far our net guys haven't come up with
an
answer. In the past we've modified CICS code to add freekeyboard parameters
to the CICS SEND MAP commands - and this will eliminate the problem, but it's
an
"ugly" single point solution.
This has become a growing problem for us, with more of our clientele moving
off
of SNA connections and onto our Novell network servers.
Any tips or suggestions to try would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
- Bill -

Are the different gateways connected to different 327x controllers?
What are the maintenance/software levels of the controllers? Are their
any different "features" turned on in the controllers?

I changed the MUSIC logic device support function to globally fix the
problem. Here it was because ERASE ALL UNPROTECTED was not supported
in the LDEV module. Programmers use this CICS function as quick 1 step
efficient way to clear the application screen.

Subject: Net3270 Gateway NET408W Messages
Greetings,
We are using four Net3270 gateway PCs for LAN access to our IBM mainframe
systems. One of these four gateways periodically issues the message:
NET408W Unable to allocate memory block. Requested size was: xxxx
where xxxx varies with each request that fails. The Net3270 client user
that this happens to ends up with what looks like a hung session (X SYSTEM).
The mainframe application is unaware that this problem has transpired on
the gateway PC. Eventually this gets so bad that most (or all) memory allo-
cations fail this way and the gateway has to be rebooted. We are starting
to see this set of symptoms about once a week now on this gateway. I have
no clue what the triggering event is.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem with DFTSERV Version 2.15 Rev. e?
Is this still the most recent version of DFTSERV (it dates back to May 1994)?
Are people still using gateways or has most everyone moved on to the TCP/IP
version of the Net3270 system?
Thanks for your help,

We have seen similiar errors on one 3270 gateway, it only occured with a
very specific sequence of events, I.E. your once a week problem. We solved
our problems by replacing the 512k 286 class motherboard in the gateway with
a 386 2 meg board. I think the problem was the memory, but since we swapped
motherboards out it could have been something else.

Matt,
Thanks for your reply. My misbehaving gateway is a 4meg 386-SX machine
already. Unless the developers code some sort of support for extended
memory into DFTSERV.EXE, anything more than 640K in your machine is essen-
tially wasted anyway! Even DOS in HMA and using UMBs for drivers doesn't
buy you much more than 640K for this DOS application.

Sherri,
I don't think the problem is in NET3270. We use it with
CICS and TSO under MVS/ESA and it works fine. No such
problems like you describe.
You might try to trace the data stream going out from the
application. It may be sending some less-than-correct 3270
commands. Different emulators handle such things
differently. When using one emulator, you may assume
everything is correct but it isn't. The error shows up when
you switch to another emulator. This can even happen with
different microcode levels in actual 3x74s.
Good Luck.
Walt.

In reply to Judy Barnett's MENU question:
I would wholeheartedly second the recommendation to upgrade to V2.21; there
are many new features. Luckily, however, you don't have to go that far to
get what you are after.
I first found the continuation character documented in an update to the
Administrator's Guide dated July 1992 that came with NET3270/MVS V2.12.
We have used this forever as we have over 30 selections on our NET3270
menu. This update (V2.12) supports up to 36 host names on the menu. To
continue a statement simply add a + (plus sign) character to the end of each
line except the last. Make sure there is a blank before and after the plus
sign (it's considered a separate word). Prior to Version 2.2x the plus
sign can be in any column as long as it's at the end of the line. I believe
for Version 2.21 I had to move the continuation characters into column 72
to get them to work. If you put them there to start with, you won't have
that problem when you go to V2.21.

If someone can help explain this message, it would be a big help.
This message comes from NET3270 for Windows if the gateway is down or
disconnected
from the network. It also comes if you define a gateway in your INI file that
doesn't exist.
However, we get the message under other circumstances.
We have a very large WAN connecting 5 campuses with T-3 lines. Sometimes the
campuses
that are remote to the NET3270 gateway work fine. Sometimes we find that a
great many
of these remote PC s are getting this message. We have two gateway machines.
Both are
located on the same token ring. Occasionally the remote PCs get the "SNA"
message
when accessing one gateway but not the other.
These machines are located in an area for student use. Therefore anything can
happen to
the PCs that are running NET3270 for Windows. Our testing had produced very
mixed
results when trying to duplicate the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Subject: Re: Help with message: SNA Application not available -Reply
Dear Lyne,
Thanks for getting back to me on my request for information on "SNA
Application not
Available".
We have not pinpointed the problem but have circumvented it. The problem
developed
with PCs running Net3270 for Windows at a remote campus. These NIC addresses
were
'locked' into using one particular CICS. They are located in the libraries
and
available for all
students to use (and mis-use). The CICS messages indicated that a new session
could not
be bound because a session already existed. Our circumvention involved using
CICS
auto-install rather than the pre-defined Terminal Control Table. Using
auto-install, CICS
does not hold onto the same static control block for a particular terminal.
CICS insteads
defines a new table entry each time a session is established and deletes the
entry when
the session ends.
This seems to have eliminated the problem. I believe the problems began
when we put
maintenance on VTAM in August. (ACF/VTAM, ESA, Rel 3.4.1 -- PUT 9403). At
that time we
began having problems with certain dial-up users who came into the mainframe
through an
IBM 7171. We solved that problem by adding a parameter to VTAM, "ASYDE=KEEP".
Because NET3270, like a 7171, emulates a non-SNA 3270 device, I speculate that
the
problems may relate to the same PTF. I've done as much research as I've had
time, but
can't pinpoint the PTF that caused the problem.
I have two additional questions.
1. What releases of DFTSERV and VTAMSERV should we be running? At the
gateways
we
are running:
SPXSERV.EXE 316232 9-14-95 10:40a
DFTSERV.EXE 212171 10-05-93 4:17p
On the mainframe, we have Version 2.21 of Net3270.
The workstations have a real mix of OS/2 (09/21/93), DOS and Windows (2.5 and
2.61).
2. My manual does not contain the following message:
"VTMNPK353W Delay on RECEIVE from line XXXX. Check line status"
What does it mean? We haven't tracked it regularly, but it seems that when we
start to get
these messages we get a lot of them. We often have to bring down and re-start
NET3270
on the mainframe to re-establish service to our customers.
Any insight you can give into these problems would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Walt.

destination via one
or more adjacent SSCPs ...
If you try to connect to a gateway that is down&/OR undefined then you get a
msgbox in a
window environment that says Unable to locate IP Host/Gateway
Now for a disconnect gateway i.e. PC gateway is up but not with the host yet
than you get a
msgbox that says Received message from Gateway GETEWAYNAME on WEEKDAY MONTH
DAY TIME YEAR Host Server is unavailable. Your Session will be recreated when
possible.
Another way to get a msg SNA application not available in a window environment
automatically will be connecting to a valid gateway and that
NET3270 menu has an automatic logon to an application ref. = sign in menu line
definition in
the NET3270 MVS config dataset
Hope this help, if not do not hesitate to let me know

Subject: NET3270 for DOS API
Hi.
We're using a PC (DOS) program called PCI from American Management Systems
(AMS) to communicate with their CUFS CICS application. The PCs use IBM's
PC3270 Entry Level software for 3270 emulation and API functions.
Recently the PCs involved were attached to our campus network and we would
like to switch them from PC3270 to NET3270. When we try to use PCI under
NET3270, PCI gives the message "Not Connected to Presentation Space". PCI
lets us configure the Presentation Space ID and we've tried "1", "A", and "E".
We've made sure Int7A is disabled in our Novell configuration as suggested
in the manual. We've also activated tracing in HLLAPI. We get a few lines
of output when HLLAPI is loaded but never anything else. (In other words,
when we try PCI and receive the above mentioned error message, no additional
trace output is generated on the printer.)
We've developed applications using the PC3270 API with GWBASIC as well as
NET3270 for Windows with Visual Basic. Since we don't have the source code
for PCI there isn't much else for us to look at.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Subject: VMSSUB153I Terminating all sesstions
The manual reports that VMSERV message 153I "is issued either at system
shutdown or if the DROP LINE command is issued." Looking through my
VMSERV console log I find that this command occured about 6 times with
no "discernable" cause.
Should the VM console indicate the cause of the message?
If someone issues a DROP LINE command, does this show up on the console?
In one of the dozen times that this happened there was an "I/O" error
on the line.
Is there any other type of "error" which causes this to happen?

Subject: Diacritics
I have had a problem which has now occured on two computers about six
weeks apart. Exactly the same thing happened both times, different
operators.
The mapping for at least 2 diacritics disappeared. The keyboard mapper
indicated that they were still there but no display. Other diacritics
were functioning OK. Diacritics lost were: umlat (shift M) and macron
(<)
When I looked at my net3270.ini file it was corrupted. Instead of being
18599 bytes, it was 18577 bytes. Replacing the ini file fixed the
problem, but what could be causing this?
I am certain that noone went into the ini file and made any change.

Can anybody give me some insights into a problem:
I have an IBM 3270 coax adapter that I have used in the past in a
Net3270 Gateway. I am trying to set up a new PC to use as a gateway.
This machine is a PS/2 model 50Z (identical configuration as another
that I am using right now). When I start the dftserv program it
terminates with the message that the "Coax adapter does not appear to
be an IBM type". This doesn't make any sense to me. The card passes
diags and the machine is configured the same as to the machine next to
it. In fact, I've gone so far as to copy the boot disk from another
gateway and just change the gateway name.
Any thoughts or ideas would be most appreciated.

Nick,
We had a similar problem here at Loyola University. Our problem was that
NET3270 looks for the IBM co-ax card at address CE00. Early versions of the
IBM
3270 co-ax card were set for this address. Later versions of the card allow
you
to
use different addresses. If the card is not set at CE00, then Net3270
doesn't
find
it, hence the message. Run configuration and make sure you have the right
address set.

Subject: page fault errors with Net3270 for Windows
My apologies if this is to the wrong list. I couldn't remember if
there was a separate list for the Windows product or not.
At any rate, we seem to be having quite a number of page fault errors
when running Net3270 for Windows (v 2.0). It seems to happen no
matter no matter what else the user may be running at the time. I've
tried the basic Windows tips like changing device=*vtd to
device=vtda.386 and I've added the TimerCriticalSection=10000 to the
system.ini but to no avail. Some users seem to be getting GP errors
instead of page faults, but there doesn't seem to be a pattern. I do
have one user that can make the error occur just be using alt-tab to
switch applications. We use Saber menu for Windows as our desktop
instead of program manager, but I don't think that's the cause since I
do have other users that user saber with many applications with no
problem. Any ideas?
Any hints, tips, or bits of wisdom would be most appreciated.

We had this problem in 2.0 and it continues in our current
production 2.6 having been reincarnated with each new
version. The only thing we have found that helps is
to tell your users to always open Win3270 last. This cuts
the crash rate from 2-3 a day to 2-3 per week. I've kept
logs but have never found a pattern that would tell me what
to change.
Perhaps we could compare setup notes? We use Saber on
Netware 3.11 most often with Lan WorkPlace. The problem
predates the installation of LWP, however. It used to
occur just as regularly with the other packet driver
(WinSock, I think). We've tried updating video drivers
(which alleviates but does not eliminate the problem), just
about every combination of included and excluded memory
that my fertile mind could devise, adding RAM, changing
video settings, and many other tricks including the ones
you mentioned. I would especially like to know what kind
of computers did NOT have the problem and how they are set
up.

George,
I don't know what you mean by printing.
If you are using NET3270's Print Screen feature, anything you see should
print properly. We have discovered little printing anomolies which are
corrected in v3.0
If you are using real 3287 printers or something, I can't help you much.
However, the File Transfer bit was only in 3274s. 3174s have no
stupid configuration options like their older counterparts.

Not to long ago, I posted a message re: meeting women of the former

In August, Olga will travel to Moscow from her home in Kiev, Ukraine.
In Moscow, Olga will have a much easier and cost efficient means to place
your personal romance ad throughout Russia.
Last week I received the following from Olga:
"I have already sent your ad to the papers in such towns: Moscow,
St. Petersburg, Vladimir, Kazan. At nearest future I will send your ad to the
paper in some more 12 towns of Russia, where papers are published.
Some times (in winter, spring & now) I placed your ad in other papers,
but they are not most popular paper in Moscow and some large cities of Russia.
Besides, I am continuing to place your ad in papers of Ukraine. I
promise to place your ad in some other papers when I will come to Moscow in
August. I am glad that you have received fairly many letters from Russian &
Ukrainian girls and I think you will received some more ones and will find
your ideal in my country soon.
I thank you very much ones more for your kindness & your help.
My best wishes,
Olga"
This isn't a scam - call it panhandling if you want. . . I sent her $40
or $50 and I've received over 45 responses. Unlike placing romance ads in
the U.S., women from the former USSR respond. Although one would guess the
are doing so in the hopes of American citizenship, I haven't found it so.
Olga lives in Kiev, Ukraine (population 3 million) and will travel to
Moscow in August to visit her father. If you were to send a letter this
week, she would receive it in time. The population of Moscow is 10 million
-- (3 times the size of Los Angeles.)
Feel free to send a letter and ask her your questions. She will be happy
to respond.
Olga's address:
Ukraine
Kiev 253121

I am posting anonymously because of the flames and volume of inquiries
that would result otherwise. I think those who are truely interested will

If you are printing to a PCL (non-postscript) type device, you could use
the Print-Raw-LPTx command and disable the formfeed at the end of the page.

Joe,
You're absolutely right. There is no mechanism in the current version
to input ALA characters. We will be adding something for v3.0.
This is your chance to tell us how you would like the VB interface to
work. Since we don't develop ALA apps here, your input would be

In case anyone else is interested, I'll answer my own question.
A collegue at BYU reminded me to the ancient Notis way of entering the ALA
special characters using the backslash as an escape character before a
standard ASCII character. Haven't tried it yet but it should work.

Subject: Using EHLLAPI with NET3270 for Windows v2.60.14
We have recently discovered a 'lack of documentation' for using EHLLAPI
programs with NET3270 for Windows v2.60.14
The problems stems in that the EHLLAPI DLL can communicate with either
NET3270 or TCP3270 but chooses TCP3270 by default.
In order to instruct EHLLAPI (ACS3EHAP.DLL) to communicate with NET3270
for Windows, add the following line to the EHLLAPI.Settings section of
the NET3270.INI file located in the Windows directory:
[EHLLAPI.Settings]
System Name = NET3270

Here it is. Louis
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Whenever I connect to YaleVM (McGILL) I get the following message in a
bordered window in the center of the screen:
APPLICATION ERROR
PROGMAN caused a general production fault in module USER.EXE at
0001:3ACA
Under that is a "close" buttom--when I click on it I go right into YALEVM.
When I finish with YALEVM and click on the "close session" button the big
problem occurs! I get taken right out of WINDOWS to a black screen and the
following message appears:
"EMM386 has detected error #06 in an application at memory address 00B8:OBCF.
To minimize the chance of data loss, EMM386 has halted your computer. For
more information see the README.TXT file.
To restart your computer, press Enter."
I discovered that if I open other McGill profiles first then I don't
experience
the problem with YaleVM that I described to you--I haven't tried going just
in to YALEVM since--perhaps you can explain to me from here what was (is?)
going on. Or shall I try just going into YALEVM to see if the problem is
replicated?
Ok I just did and encountered the previously described problem
again. So we now know that it only occurs if I go directly to to YALEVM
(within Windows via TCPIP).
What instructions do you have for me until you can get over to fix whatever
the problem is? Cheers, Louis

Subject: defaults and WIN3270 Version 2.60
Pierre,
I just got around to installing WIN3270 Version 2.60.11. I editted the
INSTALL.MST file and changed the SetSymbolValue of "EncryptIn" to "ON"
but it doesn't seem to enable that when I open a window. I believe
this use to make "ON" the default.
One other thing. When you open a session I thought WIN3270 use to
display the available gateways. It doesn't seem to anymore. I can
type in an alternate but I don't seem to beable to "list" them. This
was a very handy feature.

That will set the default value to On. But if you select a profile,
all settings are overridden by the profile. I'll take a look at it.

Yes, it was there and is currently broken. I'll fix it for v3.0.

Pierre, I thought that might be the problem so I erased the NET3270.INI
file in the WINDOWS directory, re-did the install and I still had the
problem.
Thanks!
