Hi Greg!
Yes, with your help I did get the LPS functions going years ago in what
I called V1.25. It seemed fine until some people I worked with started
using it for SAS graphs and found errors. I spent a lot of time trying
to figure out what I was doing wrong, and then (sorry) kind of decided
there just wasn't enough call for it.
And I you're right around Win 7 time. With early Vista TN3270 I wanted
to go against the grain (and even MS standards) and pile everything in
one directory. That included exe, dll, support, and even parameter
files which were regularly updated by the user. The objective was to be
able to copy/backup one directory and have everything. Win 7 spoiled
that by enforcing the MS standards.
Regards,
Tom

But Tom has serious paying customers who don't really care for what I
may or may not want in a TN3270 client and so I gather that these code
changes were more of a prototype quality rather than production quality
code and so were not copied into the product's code base used going
forward.
(Tom can correct me here if I have any of this wrong, of course.)
I think it was Win7 that introduced the Program Data directory, yes?
Anyway, Tom had to make a change to Vista so it was a happy Win7 citizen
(IIRC). The net result of the new directory paradigm was that it was a
pain to use the 1.25 version under Win7 and later so I gave it away in
the end.
