Works 2.0: Support for 3270 Emulation

2.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Microsoft has not yet identified a 3270 emulator that functions without any problems with version 2.0 of Microsoft Works for MS-DOS. It is possible to use the IBM 3270 emulator software; however, when you return to Works from emulation mode, the color palette will be corrupted. To correct this problem, enter and then exit the Options Works Settings dialog box. (This causes Works to redraw the screen.) This process can be automated with a simple macro.

In all cases reported, the problems experienced are caused by the terminal emulation packages, rather than Microsoft Works.

If possible, it is recommended that you use the actual IBM 3270 emulator. It functions as described above. Microsoft cannot guarantee proper functionality with other 3270 emulation software.
