Your Wishes and Suggestions

And here is where you can add your own wishes and suggestions. I will look at them and move them onto the "To-Do" pile if I find a way to implement them

1. allow lower case for the secret word. 2. better documentation on installing c3270, specifically how to find where to get the compiler. Ubuntu linux comes with no c compiler, and when I eventualy found how to install one, it seems to be the wrong one as the compile fails. I could not find how to get the "Sun" compiler on ubuntu, tn3270, turnkey, or hercules websites. Maybe I am missing it, but I could not find it. I also looked at sun.com, but I do seen to recall getting it once many years ago (for a sparc computer) and it was on a different site whose name escapes me now.

The install and other scripts need to be converted from /bin/bash to /bin/sh. Numerous systems, include FreeBSD and Solaris don't have bash by default, and there is no particular reason to require it aside from habit. -ahd-

It's implied by some other suggestions, but not explicitly mentioned - all 327x devices should have the PTREAD option on, and the last device on each controller should be a 3286 or 3287?

Would be great, if FTP would be implemented and allow for writing Job-Cards into the JES-Spool.

Add a mod to netsol so that when MVS is run under VM, the terminal will un-dile when the user logs off TSO.

Add the option to install the MSVC version of hercules and not install the cygwin system at all.

A howto doc on how to upgrade or integrate pre-installed turnkey system with new or newest cygwin builds would be very helpfull. Also a simple how-to doc on using linux s/390 with hercules, since that info is not readilly available and is very hard to find.

MVS conf file option CODEPAGE does not seem to currently work. This should be fixed. Also, CODEPAGE should not be limited to precompiled tables, but should allow an external, user-defined set of translation tables, ascii-to-ebcdic and ebcdic-to-ascii. This could either be in binary form (512 bytes) or in a more readable format, as time permits to implement.

Gen in page printer support, such as 3827's, and install Waterloo SCRIPT. Page printer support would also need to be added to Hercules. Hopefully having these items available on the Turnkey system would inspire the needed Hercules enhancement.

Increase SPOOL space and cleanup. If 3380-2 disk can be used, a few would be sufficient. Cleanup routines like http://www.cbttape.org/jes2down.htm file 136 would not work without adapting. A reply of "Do you want $PS1-9999, $PT1-9999, and $PJ1-9999" might work.
