Welcome to ETU
ETU is a host software package that allows you to transfer files between an IBM AS/400 host computer and one or more microcomputers that are emulating an IBM 5250 display station.
What ETU Can Do for You
The purpose of ETU is twofold: to transfer data and to translate data. Data transfer entails the movement of data between two systems.
Data translation changes the way the data is represented or stored so that the same data can be used by two different systems. More specifically, with ETU, you can:
•Transfer data between your microcomputer and the AS/400;
•Transfer data from one microcomputer to another microcomputer of the same type;
•Transfer
•Transfer a single host file to as many as ten microcomputers with one command;
•Translate files to and from the following microcomputer formats: ASCII TEXT, BASIC Sequential, DIF, and TAB;
•Create, rename, test for existence of, and delete files on the micro while running 5250 emulation from the microcomputer;
•Use the host for
