What this sample program does:
This sample application demonstrates how to use (1) the HIO object, and (2) the HIO object in conjunction with the Terminal Control object.
When the sample application is started, there is a single menu command: Session. Use the Session->Open HIO Client to start a host session using just the HIO object. Use the Session->Open Terminal Control Client to start a host session using an HIO object, and also use the Terminal Control object to display the session screen.
The configuration file used to define the host connection is LOCIS.ZCC and this file is located in the \bin sub folder. This file is text file that can be edited with NOTEPAD.EXE. The host IP address specified in this configuration file is the Zephyr mainframe. If the computer you are using to run this sample application does not have access to the Internet, the sample application will fail. You may edit this file and change the IPHostName= parameter to point to a mainframe system you have access to.
