Installation instructions:

1.  Go to the \TN3270 directory, and make a PATCH subdirectory.

2.  Copy the TN3270.EXE file to \TN3270\PATCH and execute it.

3.  Execute the INSTALL.BAT file.

Notes: 

You must have the original TN3270 v3.13a software installed in order
to apply this update.  If the patch program cannot find the original
3.13a files, the new files will not be installed, and warning
messages will be displayed.  If you have installed any other updates
to TN3270, you should remove them and restore the original files
prior to applying this update.

The patch program will store the original files in the
\TN3270\PATCH\BACKUP directory. If you need to revert to the original
files, go to this directory, rename the UNPATCH.BAK file to
UNPATCH.BAT, and execute the file.  The original files will be
restored.

If you copied the v3.13a SNATERMK.STD file to SNATERMK as described on
page 2-3 of the TN3270 for LAN WorkPlace User's Guide, you will need
to do this again after installing the v4.04 update.

Fixes and enhancements:

VM Help Screen:
**************

  The VM help screen for T3270 Model 4 and Model 5 works correctly
  now.

Addresses of Snapdumps of Data:
******************************
  
  The addresses of snapdumps of data are shifted to the left in the
  X15 trace, causing trouble with the "pstrip" program later on.
  This problem has been corrected in this release.

Block Cursor Feature:
********************

  A feature was added to support block cursor for the TN3270
  emulator.  Block cursor can be selected by entering the command
  line option -BC or by setting the entry #BLKCUR to "Y" in the
  SNATEXT file.

Port Numbers Greater than 256:
*****************************
  
  This release corrects a problem where a port number greater than
  256 would cause a connection failure.

Command Line Options (-red, -blue, -pink):
*****************************************

  The -red and -blue command line options for the TN3270 command
  are no longer supported.  When these options are used, a message
  is displayed instructing you to use the new color mapping
  feature.

  Example:

  C:>  TN3270 -red -blue

  Loading text
  -red option is no longer supported.  Use color mapping
  in COLORS.OCS file instead.
  -blue option is no longer supported.  Use color mapping
  in COLORS.OCS file instead.

  Press any key to continue.

  It is no longer necessary to enter the -pink command line option
  for the TN3270 command; -pink is always in effect.

Underlined Fields:
*****************

  Underlined fields in the 3270 emulation screens are now displayed
  in reverse video.  This enhancement applies to both color and
  monochrome screens.  For color screens the text is displayed in
  the foreground color grey to distinguish the underlined fields
  from real reverse video fields.

Color Mapping:
*************

  The color mapping feature allows you to assign new colors to the
  default colors used by the 3270 emulator and the API visual mode.
  
  The color mapping feature uses two files:
  
     COLORS.OCS
     PALETTE.OCS
     
  These files are described in the following paragraphs.

  COLORS.OCS -  You can edit this file to assign new colors to the
  default colors used by the TN3270 for LAN WorkPlace emulator.
  The entries on the left (for example, oc_black, oc_blue,
  oc_green, etc.) in this file MUST NOT be changed.  These are the
  variables used by the TN3270 for LAN WorkPlace emulation
  software.  For the right side of the assignment, you can use any
  color name defined in the file PALETTE.OCS (for example, blue,
  azure, arcticnight, etc.).  DO NOT change PALETTE.OCS - use it as
  a read-only file.  It defines the valid color names.

  Sample Entries from the COLORS.OCS file

  ****************************************
  * 3270 Assignments:
  
  oc_black         =   blue
  oc_blue          =   azure
  oc_green         =   emerald

  PALETTE.OCS -  This file can be viewed by the user to determine
  valid color names to use in the assignment statements in the
  COLORS.OCS file.

  Sample Entries from the PALETTE.OCS file

  *****************************************
                            000  black
                            001  blue
                            002  green
                            003  cyan
                            004  red
                            005  magenta
                            006  lime
                            007  white
                            008  arcticnight
                            009  aquamarine

                                        .
                                        .
                            061  rose
                            061  lightmagenta
                            062  yellow

  IBM 3270 colors map to the COLOR.OCS oc_{color} values shown in
  the following table:

            IBM Colors               oc_{color} Values
            ----------               -----------------
            blue                     oc_lightblue
            green                    oc_green
            red                      oc_red
            pink                     oc_lightmagenta
            yellow                   oc_yellow
            turquoise                oc_cyan
            white                    oc_white
            black (background)       oc_black

            reverse video text       oc_black
            reverse video blue       oc_blue
            reverse video green      oc_green
            reverse video red        oc_red
            reverse video pink       oc_magenta
            reverse video yellow     oc_brown
            reverse video turquoise  oc_cyan

  In text mode (the only mode supported by Novell), the emulator
  shows underlined fields in reverse video with a different text
  color from normal reverse video:

            underlined text                 oc_grey
            underlined blue background      oc_blue
            underlined green background     oc_green
            underlined red background       oc_red
            underlined pink background      oc_magenta
            underlined yellow background    oc_brown
            underlined turquoise background oc_cyan

  To change the IBM color, change the corresponding COLORS.OCS
  oc_{color} assignment to one of the valid color names from the
  PALETTE.OCS file.

  Example:

  To display IBM blue as aquamarine when using the TN3270 emulator,
  edit the COLORS.OCS file and change the assignment:

                    oc_lightblue = lightblue

                                to

                     oc_lightblue = aquamarine

Using TRYCOLOR to view colors produced by assignments in the
COLORS.OCS file:

  The utility program TRYCOLOR.EXE lets you view the colors
  produced by the assignments in the COLORS.OCS file or by an
  alternate test file created by modifying a copy of the COLORS.OCS
  file.  Entering the TRYCOLOR command with the -h option displays
  a help screen describing its use.

  C:> TRYCOLOR -h

  Program TRYCOLOR shows the selected emulator colors on the
  monitor.
  
  The following options are valid:
  
        -h............ to obtain this help text
        -f filename... to process a specific color assignment
                       file.  Without the -f option the standard
                       color assignment file, COLORS.OCS, is used.

            Examples:

             C:> TRYCOLOR

                *******************************
   TRYCOLOR          Assigned Color     Display of Assigned Color
   oc_black =                  blue     _________________________
   oc_blue =                  azure     _________________________
   oc_green =               emerald     _________________________
                              .
                              .
                              .
                *******************************

3270 Datastream Attributes:
************************

  Rather than rejecting the 3270 datastream attributes "Character
  Set" and "Transparency," the TN3270 product ignores these
  attributes for a text mode terminal.

The -nocolor Option:
*******************

  The -nocolor option works correctly now with an Orchid VGA board
  and a monochrome monitor.

Orchid VGA Monochrome Monitor:
*****************************

  The Orchid VGA monochrome monitor now supports a 327x Model 5
  terminal.

The -DM and -DN Command Line Options:
************************************

  The -DM and -DN command line options can now be entered with or
  without a space (that is, -DM and -D M are both valid, also -DN
  and -D N are both valid).

Image Data Processing:
*********************

  This release fixes a problem in the image data processing engine
  where image data was all being painted on one line on the screen.

The -nocolor Option:
*******************

  This release adds the -nocolor option to T3270 for forcing
  monochrome mode.  This option is more effective for CGA, EGA, and
  VGA monitors than the -DM option.

Screen Painting:
***************

  Screens are now painted correctly for all CRT models upon a
  session change; that is, with the right number of lines and
  columns.  This also fixes the problem of a PC soft wait, when
  attempting to forward tab on a screen with the number of lines
  set incorrectly.

Specification of an IP Address on the Command Line:
**************************************************

  This release adds support for specification of an IP address on
  the command line for TN3270.EXE for PC-NFS, 3Com, and HP sockets.

Lightpen Selection:
******************

  Lightpen selection occasionally locked up the keyboard,
  necessitating a keyboard reset by the user.  This problem has
  been corrected.
