                 TN3270E Working Group announces:
           a BOF and Technology demonstration at INTEROP.

     There will be a TN3287 IBM printing technology demo by several vendors
during the INTEROP show August 25 - 27 in San Francisco.  The demonstration
will show implementations of the TN3270E working groups draft on TN3287
printing and LUNAME selections.  Vendors demonstrating interoperable
implementations of the draft will include WRQ, DCA, ACS, and OCS.  The draft
which is planned to be submitted as an Experimental RFC shortly after INTEROP
provides the capability to make TN3270 emulators capable of connecting
directly to specific IBM host Resource Names typically called LUNAMES.  The
document also includes protocols to make it possible for TN3270 emulators to
attach as Printers to IBM host applications.

     This technology demonstration will allow users of IBM host systems
which need 3270 printing support to be implemented on TCP/IP networks which
will make it possible for workstations running TN3270 Client Emulators to
also attach as printers at the same time, making possible direct CICS and
JES printing solutions, to local or remote workstation printing devices.

     The TN3270E working group is also preparing documents on the present
TN3270 practices, and a new document which will significantly extend the
capabilities of TN3270 into the capabilites of SNA.  All of the activities
will be reviewed during a BOF at INTEROP 7:30 Thursday evening.
