  • Glink Brochure
    G&R GALLAGHER ROBERTSON www.glink.com TM G&R FORGLINK WINDOWS Robust, reliable, trusted and complete Historical perspective Glink is probably the only terminal emulator on the market with an unbroken development and support chain from a single company for more than twenty years. There are more than 600.000 copies of Glink licensed world wide for use as terminal emulators in the Bull, IBM, DEC, UNIX, Linux and Minitel environments. The forerunner of Glink was developed on a Commodore VIC 20 in 1981. It was ported to the Commodore 64 in 1982. Glink was introduced commercially as Glink for DOS running under DOS 2.10 in 1984. Glink for Windows, Standard Edition was first released for Windows 3.1 in July 1992, but is now discontinued. The Professional Edition was first released for Windows 95, NT4, 98, 98SE, 2000 and ME in December 2000. It is certified for Windows 7, 8 and 10 but runs on all supported Windows releases, including Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 and 2016. The Professional Edition, with the accompanying Enterprise Edition is the platform for all future development. Functional overview Glink is a package for terminal emulation. It has Bull VIP7700, VIP7760, VIP7800, VIP8800, HDS, Questar DKU7107, DKU7211, DKU7102; IBM 3270 with GDDM graphics and APL keyboard, IBM 5250; IBM 3151, VT52, VT100, VT220, VT320, VT340, VT420 with Regis graphics, ANSI, Prestel and Minitel emulations.
