Tn5250 is a 5250 emulator that runs on several platforms. tn5250 has several front ends, each appropriate for a given platform. The tn5250 project also produces lib5250, a backend used by several emulators that provides the 5250 host communication.
tn5250 also provides print services using the lp5250d daemon and several print filters. Using lp5250d and these filters printed output can be sent to any printer or converted to various formats including Adobe PDF, Adobe Postscript, plain text, or even raw SCS. lp5250d can be configured to use Host Print Transform to support any iSeries printer.
There is extensive documentation for tn5250 in the tn5250 HOWTO. tn5250 is licensed under the LGPL license.
