Relay-Version:version B 2.10 5/3/83; site harpo.UUCP Message-ID:<117@tty3b.UUCP> Date:Thu, 26-May-83 17:15:03 EDT The TELETYPE 5620 Dot-mapped Display is an intelligent terminal with a 10.24" by 8" screen, 100 dot/inch resolution, a powerful microprocessor and a pointing device called a mouse. The support for the 5620 will be available as add-on packages to UNIX System V (the official Western Electric supported release of UNIX) and beyond. The 5620 does require a new driver to be installed in your UNIX system (called "xt") to use the virtual terminal facility. These driver will be available for at least the VAX family. Since support for the 5620 will be a standard package for UNIX, you can extrapolate the obvious for other processors on which WECo has announced standard UNIX will be available. Of course, much more than just virtual terminal support will be available. There will be a software development system for terminal applications, including a C cross-compiler and a beautiful mouse-based debugger which runs in one window while the application you're debugging runs in another. And some text applications will also be available. Again, for more information write: Teletype Corporation Sales Department 5555 Touhy Skokie, IL 60077
