-
- The newest release of PMANT and TN3270 use the default translate
- tables that don't support the ^ sign. In \TCPIP\ETC there is a file
- named "3278XLT.SAM". This file contains the default translate tables.
- To use it you must rename or copy it into "3278XLT.TBL". Now you have
- a tranlate table that does the default and does not help you. You need
- to mod the table to support the ^ sign. In the top ASCII to EBCDIC
- table, you should change the line labeled 50 in the far right column.
- The change is that the next to last byte should be changed from "B0"
- to "5F". Now you have a not sign on both input and output!
