Installing JET 3270 on your workstation

JET 3270 installation depends on your workstation system type:

  • Download the JET 3270 self-extracting archive, jet3270.exe, to your disk
  • Run the self-extracting archive, jet3270.exe, by double clicking it.
  • Follow the on screen instructions. Note: JET 3270 now automatically includes your licence details in the JET3270Key.jlk file in the "applet" sub-directory. It includes a licence key that expires. Platypus Partners will make new licence details available upon renewal of your Annual Licence Fee.
  • Select Start -> Programs -> JET 3270 -> Launch JET 3270. Your default browser will start and open the page that loads the JET 3270 applet.
    
    
• For a Unix/Linux system:
  
  
  • Create a new JET directory on your workstation
  • Copy the JET 3270 tarred, jet3270.tar, or tarred and gzipped, jet3270.tar.gz, archive into your JET directory
  • From your favourite shell, gunzip, using the command: gunzip jet3270.tar.gz the archive if required. Untar it using the command:
    tar -xvf jet3270.tar
    Note: JET 3270 now automatically includes your licence details in the JET3270Key.jlk file in the "applet" sub-directory. It includes a licence key that expires. Platypus Partners will make new licence details available upon renewal of your Annual Licence Fee.
  • Using your JavaTM enabled browser open the Shortcut.htm file in the applet directory. This page loads the JET 3270 applet.
