Re: 0.17.4 Win32 paste bug and possible fix

   Wow, we've been choking on that one for years.
   As soon as I can make the time I'll try it.
   Thanks!

   Subject: [LINUX5250] 0.17.4 Win32 paste bug and possible fix

     I love tn5250 and am grateful that we have a community of people who
     support it. I myself am barely able to walk through the code so I
     appreciate the list looking over my shoulder...

     I had a long standing bug whereby I would copy some long-ish SQL out of
     a Word document and paste it into my tn5250 session and the session
     would crash with a Windows message saying that tn5250.exe has stopped
     working. I could never put my finger on the exact circumstances, and it
     never bothered me that much until recently when I had to do a LOT of
     these.

     So I started digging. Got to win32_paste_text_selection

putting in TN5250_LOG() statements.  Too busy to learn gdb :-(  I
eventually narrowed the error down to the bottom, 'free(pNewBuf);'
Which didn't make much sense to me unless something had inadvertently
stepped on pNewBuf.  I'm still not a C programmer despite several hours
of looking at the code (ha!), but the only place it looks like this
routine could possibly step on pNewBuf is up above, where it says

Please try the code from cvs, or get it from 
http://www.chowhouse.com/~james/x5250/tn5250-cvs.tar.gz


If the problem persists after trying the latest from cvs, email the scs 
file and I'll take a look.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on

Hello James,

This for the reply. I use 0.17.4. Would cvs get me changes that are not in
this version.

Also, If it can help, I can email direct a sample scs file.

thanks

Hello,

I have been using lp5250d along with scs2pdf. I am getting a pdf however it comes up with a page size in the pdf viewer of 10.39 by 9 instead of the expected 11 x 8.5.

Text on the page is also shifted outside the top margin and missing about 1/2 of the page.

I have executed scs2pdf -s and I have noticed the following lines of interest:
Mar 22 07:28:16 localhost scs2pdf[24201]: SHM set left margin to 1
Mar 22 07:28:16 localhost scs2pdf[24201]: SHM set right margin to 27648

Re: Problem compiling x5250

James Rich — 2013-03-15T20:19:23


I'm not sure if the above is really a problem, but definitely noted.


This fails because the compiler can't find libXext.so.  I don't know ARM, 
but check that you have libXext.so on your system, using a command like:

locate libXext

on my system this results in:

Closer! It took me a bit to figure out the autogen stuff (a bit of a source

for x5250 I got this far during the make:

Problem compiling x5250

Aaron Fransen — 2013-03-14T20:31:59

I'm attempting to compile x5250 on an ARM machine (MK802 actually) and I'm
running into a bit of a problem and wondered if anybody might have an idea.

I've already installed and compiled tn5250 0.17.4, so it's confusing to me
that I'd be getting this:

x5250term.c: In function ‘x5250_terminal_waitevent’:
x5250term.c:1955:40: error: ‘Tn5250Display’ has no member named
‘destructive_backspace’

‘XRefreshKeyboardMapping’ from incompatible pointer type [enabled by
default]
/usr/include/X11/Xlib.h:3075:12: note: expected ‘struct XMappingEvent *’
but argument is of type ‘union XEvent *’

Any ideas?

Keep Alive for LP5250D

PRYM — 2013-02-27T15:42:23

Hi all,

 

I like to use LP5250D. For that I need to send periodical keep alive probes.
Could someone look in to it to get that active. LP5250D is a very nice tool
for us.

 

Thanks

Peter

   Hi everyone,
   after a long time, there is a new release of TN5250j now.
   There are a couple of useful bugfixes. Thanks to everyone,
   who supported us.
   The internal cope page conversion was rewritten, which was
   an important step to support Hebrew characters (CP-424).
   As of this version 0.7.0, TN5250j requires a Java 6 runtime.
   Supporting older versions of Java needs more effort,

Re: window size doesn't change for 132 columns

Glenn Holmer — 2012-12-26T13:48:54

OK, almost four years later; still using tn5250 every day, couldn't live 
without it! But now my team has switched to Kubuntu (KDE) on our 
workstations, and we see this again. We are running tn5250 0.17.4 from a 
.deb I found online (since it's no longer in the Ubuntu repo). I do see 
the above lines in /usr/share/tn5250/XTerm (which references this thread!):

! http://archive.midrange.com/linux5250/200902/msg00003.html
xt5250.VT100*allowWindowOps: True
xt5250.VT100*allowFontOps: True

But the window is not resizing when I do something that triggers 
132-column mode (e.g. STRSQL).

KDE has its own terminal called Konsole; I tried installing xterm and 
running it like this:

xterm -e "tn5250 <machine-name> env.TERM=IBM-3477-FC"

but it still doesn't resize. Any KDE users out there have any ideas?
