- Actually, when I co-oped at IBM, I tried CM, PC/3270 for Windows, and ELEP2. I
- ended up sticking with PC/3270. CM had simply too much overhead, and ELEP2 did
- not offer as much in the way of features as PC/3270.
-
- The 3270 emulation in CM is superb, and if you want/need DFT mode emulation in
- a native OS/2 application, it is IBM's only offering. What I'm saying is that
- IBM should take CM's superb 3270 emulation and put it in a separate application
- for those people who don't want/need the ES overhead, something like a PC/3270
- for PM. Now I'm sure that it would hurt ES sales, but it would sell pretty
- well, I think. FWIW, it wouldn't hurt if such a program were also 32-bit.
