Hi Kevin -- I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we scrapped HostExplorer. It was mainly successful in freezing virtually any PC we had after about 100 mainframe transactions... which wasn't resolved with help from Hummingbird and Microsoft tech support. We then tried Attachmate Extra, which also had some (different) problems. We ultimately went on to use Rumba, which has been very stable, reliable -- and was also fairly easy from a coding standpoint.

Because of this, I don't have any code to send you -- we deleted it from our test libraries a while ago. I do have Rumba and Extra related code, though, if you decide to switch. Sorry! -- Sue
