Free Host 3270 / News: Recent posts

Art has kindly allowd me to become a project adminstrator for Free Host 3270. I am aware of several patches waiting to be applied that will be applied in the next few days. Please feel free to submit bug reports and feature requests while I try to figure out how Sourceforge works.

The first public release of FreeHost 3270, version 0.1, was made today. Interested developers and users can download the software or get anonymous CVS access at http://freehost3270.sourceforge.net.

FreeHost3270 (Formerly RightHost3270, a commmercial product I developed at one in a long line of failed startups) was open-sourcified today. FreeHost3270 is a web-enabling system for legacy TN3270 applications. It delivers java applet 3270 Emulators to a limitless number of clients and proxies their connections back to the Host. It also provides an API and default implementation of an HTML based 'screen-scrape'. The FreeHost system is developed in Java, and deployed as a standard Web Application Archive (WAR). It should work in any Servlet 2.2 compliant container. (It's been tested on Tomcat 3.2.1) The code is available from CVS, and there will be a WAR/binary release in the next few days.
