NEWS
====

(From the release notes: http://x3270.bgp.nu/documentation-relnotes.html)
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

This release contains Paul Mattes's latest code and fixes to the suite.

This release contains mostly bug fixes to the previous release, 3.3.15ga8.

Additionally, Paul distributes a standalone version of c3270 and pr3287, named wc3270 and wpr3287, respectively. These are not included in the Cygwin port, as they are build as native Windows binaries.

If you wish to use these rather than the Cygwin ported versions, they can be obtained from Paul's website directly (see Homepage below, goto Download link). Alternatively, source for building these is included in the original source tarball used to build the Cygwin port, so you can build them yourself.

DESCRIPTION:
============
suite3270 is a collection of 3270 emulators created by Paul Mattes.
3270 is a type of terminal protocol, somewhat like telnet protocol. If you work with IBM mainframes then you will be familiar with 3270's in general. This suite of emulators will come in very handy.

The suite is composed of the following packages:

c3270   - Curses based emulator
pr3287  - 3287 printer emulator
s3270   - Scripted emulator
tcl3270 - Tcl/Tk based emulator
x3270   - X-Windows based emulator

Each of the above is a separate package and will appear as separate
packages in the list of Cygwin installable packages.  The suite3270
package is a container for common files among the emulators.  You do not
need to select it.  Selecting any one of the other emulators will pull in
suite3270 automatically.

UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up one of the
above packages under the Net category.

DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need to
