Features of Version 5.6

Version 5.6 is the latest release.

This release supports changes in Operating System V5R1. The issue was a

problem transferring AS/400 spool files to the PC. When you select the

Output queue, you could not see any of the files that were in that queue.

It is downward compatible with older versions of OS/400.

Notes to Mac Users

Most of the information in this manual is relevant to all microcomputer

workstation users. However, some information is specific only to Mac

users. Such information is expressed in the following format:

Mac Users:

This is how Mac-specific information is presented.

Compatibility with Non-ES32 Emulation Products

ETU is currently only supported with NLynx Techologies

ES32

emulation.

There once was a DOS Compatibility disk with a program called IBMTRAN

that enabled any emulation to work. This software only works with other

DOS software using serial COM ports. IBMTRAN was never ported to the

Windows environment. IBMTRAN doesn't work with Windows 95 or any later

Windows Operating Systems. It is not supported because the Windows

Registry makes this too difficult. IBMTRAN is no longer supported.

If you would like to try it, without support, you can get it from our

website at

ETU Compatibility Program for REAL DOS Only. (See ETU Compatibility

Diskette: For non-ES32 Emulation Products in Chapter 2.)

Native Mode and System/36 Mode

ETU 400 supports two sets of commands, one in the AS/400 native mode and

the other in System/36 mode on the AS/400. Chapters 3 through 10 are for

the native mode command set. Appendix G addresses the commands and

operation for System/36 mode. System/36 mode interface does not support

the new features and commands listed above.
