<Be-ware the Line Mangler>
I just started using the IMP terminal program on the commodore 128. I set
the term to be adm31 and everything works fine except......
i) whenever there is a reverse video line (like when you more filename),
all I get is graphic characters.
ii) within vi when I insert into a line, it seems to overwrite the line.
escape after insert does seem to change matters. does not seem to
work either.
That is all I found so far. Am I using the most suited termcap entry? Has
anyone else had the same problems and/or fixed them? Please post. Also if
anyone has the description (with escape sequence codes) for the adm31, I
would appreciate it if you would post it or mail it to me.
Thank you.

Don't use adm31, the code for reverse video (or standout) is different for the C128 - use oadm31 (old adm31) if you have it on your system. If you don't, you could always make your own termcap entry and change the :so=\EG1: to :so=\EG4: > ii) within vi when I insert into a line, it seems to overwrite the line. > escape after insert does seem to change matters. does not seem to > work either. This is because the insert start/end codes given in the termcap entry do NOT work on the 128. I think you're best bet would be to make up your own termcap entry. If you would like some help, here's a termcap entry I use (although until I get my NEWSYS installed, I can't really test it out but I *know* the codes work on CP/M 3.0 on the 128 - I have tried them.) : setterm adm31 setenv TERMCAP "l1|adm31|31:is=\Eu\E0:cr=^M:do=^J:nl=^J:bl=^G:al=\EE:am:le=^H:bs:ce=\ET:cm=\E=%+\040%+\040:cl=\E*:cd=\EY:co#80:dc=\EW:dl=\ER:ho=^^:kd=^J:kl=^H:kr=^L:ku=^K:li#24:mi:nd=^L:se=\EG0:so=\EG4:up=^K:" (I just set up a file and 'source' it (from csh)) >That is all I found so far.

Also if >anyone has the description (with escape sequence codes) for the adm31, I >would appreciate it if you would post it or mail it to me. Here are some I know (taken and modified from the termcap entry) : Escape codes for C128's CP/M emulating ADM31. '#' represents a number. 'ESC' is the ESCAPE code (ASCII 27). SPC is ASCII 32. ESC E insert line ESC R delete line ESC W delete character ESC * clear entire display (same as ^Z) ESC Y clear to end of display (same as ESC y) ESC T clear to end of line (same as ESC t) ESC G 4 start standout ESC G 0 end standout ESC = # # move cursor to (#-32, #-32) ^^ home cursor (how to type this from the keyboard I don't know - could always use "ESC = SPC SPC") ^K up one line ^L right one charactrer ^H left ^J down I hope this helps. ...Chris -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Gordon UUCP: {abunchasystems}!watmath!watnot!cagordon U of Waterloo, Ont CompuServe: Don't know yet ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...Life...in the fast lane...

Has anyone else had the same problems and fixed them? >Please post. I have indeed been biten by the same bug several time, and have written a termcap and a terminfo for the 128. The main problem is that the C-128 isn't really an adm-341 emulator as much as a Kaypro emulator. The <ESC>G# codes are different, which causes the alt char set to be used instead of inverse video. Here is the termcap that I am using on SysV.2 UNIX's: ---------------cut here-------------- c128|c128.mex|cpm128|commodore-128 cp/m+:\ :co#80:li#24:am:cl=\E*:bs:\ :cm=\E=%+ %+ :nd=\014:up=\013:ce=\ET:cd=\EY:\ :al=\EE:dl=\ER:im=:ei=:ic=\EQ:mi:dm=:ed=:dc=\EW:\ :so=\EG4:se=\EG0:us=\EG3:ue=\EG0: ---------------------------- Its not absolutely complete, but its better than trying to use the ADM-31 and going blind.
