Subject: Wyse Terminals, 80 and 132 col modes, termcap entries
Cc: fischer
Date: Wed Feb 5 09:52:28 1986
This has been tested on Xenix and Unix
Attached is a shar archive for wyse termcaps for both the 80 column
mode and the 132 column mode. These use the wyse in the wyse emulation
mode, and standout is output as protected video. To get standout to
reverse video, use the setup mode of the keyboard to request protected to
be reverse video...
In your ".cshrc", place two entries for aliasing commands to set your
terminals into the 80 or 132 col modes
alias wy80 'setenv TERM wy50 ; tset ' # set wyse terminal narrow
alias wy132 'setenv TERM wy50l ; tset ' # set wyse terminal wide mode
Now, just keying wy80 or wy132 will place the terminal in the proper
setting!
This termcap assumes the wyse is emulating a wyse, not something else.
Therefore, with vi, all the control keys work properly!!! (E.g., the
control h-j-k-l, etc.) This termcap is also ideal for spreadsheets, which
depend on standout mode not occupying screen character positions.
Note that the tabset files (which need to be moved to /usr/lib/tabset)
assume that the line speed is 9600 baud. They issue blanks as timing
pads after the command to set the screen width. If you are running
at 1200 or 300 baud, fewer blanks are needed (the terminal needs about
1/10 second to go between modes before sending the tab settings).
Also, you mailer might screw up the control characters in the tabset
files; these files have embedded escape characters and one very long
record, and can be fixed up with vi in a wrapmargin=0 mode.
If you buy a wyse 30 (admittedly cheap, wholesaling at $285, if you
can buy at dealer prices) INSIST on one with a new gate array, because
the early gate arrays did not allow protected fields to reverse video
(they only went dim). Wyse will NOT exchange a wyse 30 with early
release gate arrays and ROMS for one with the later version...
