a .net library to write applications/servers with C# that use TN3270 clients
This library was heavily inspired by racingmars/go3270 which has a similar goal, except it is designed to use golang instead of C#. After watching a demo video of go3270, I decided that I needed to have the same functionality for my favorite developer ecosystem.
TN3270Sharp is licensed under the MIT License which permits commercial use; modification; distribution, and private use.
I have borrowed / adapted some code from racingmars/go3270 and Open3270/Open3270, both of which are also released under the MIT License.
I want to thank bencz for major contribution, including a new implementation of the TN3270 Connection Handler.
This project is still very early in development and is not suitable for use any project beyond experimentation. There is most certainly bugs and missing features. The API will also likely change many times before it is declared ready for any realworld use.
THIS CODE IS UNSTABLE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
