They are indeed, but I don't have enough skills (yet..?) to rewrite bits of 
x3270 I want.

I have looked and attempted on a couple of occasions, and I've always failed. 
Because it relies on only X, and not QT or GTK, none of the features of either 
KDE or GNOME (or whatever that's called these days) appear to be used. I'm 
guessing that's because it's generically available to all Linux, and possibly 
beyond.

One day maybe I'll spend time and effort doing something with it!

The latest checkins to the x3270 source tree are this month, so obviously Paul 
Mattes is still at it, like 20 years later.

Open source will still be there when the vendors wander away in search of fresh 
blood :)
