Pete

We have users with software called E78Plus, I believe from IRMA.

Pete do you know if this software or its follow ons will support ADSM for
DOS? Is the ADSM API special for ADSM or is it just one level of another
standard?  EHLLAPI?

I noticed that the current ADSM ann letters state that IBM PC/3270 ver 3
is required. But at the time of the posting you said that ver 2 would
be supported. Would the level of HLLAPI/EHLLAPI in IBM PC/3270 ver 1
work with ADSM if IBM still suppored that level of PC/3270?
