Does anyone know of a program for CP/M which would allow the system to be used as a VT100 terminal (i.e. translat incoming ANSI codes to whatever terminal is hooked to the CP/M system). TERM II comes close but only allows one-for-one mapping. I'm using an ADM31 type of terminal. Thanks. zielinsk@NADC

There is a PD program GATE.LBR for generalized async terminal emulator which I have downloaded from somewhere (since I am replying, I don't know whether it is on simtel20 - I will upload it if it isn't). I haven't tried it yet so what info I have is from a quick look at the documentation.

I am running Montezuma Micro CP/M 2.2 on my TRS-80 Model 4P. Both the MDM730 that came with it and MEX which I finally got to operate (sort of) ignore cursor motion codes. (The only thing I use TRSDOS 6.2 for is my vt52 emulator.) If anyone can find a vt100 emulator for CP/M, or even a program that will let me let escape codes through (this thing already emu- lates an adm3a right off the bat), I would be very grateful.

Try pd:<cpm.term>gate.lbr on simtel20. I haven't tried it yet but the name is for Generalized Async. Terminal Emulator. Slow as Kermit is, it does have a VT52 emulator. Your machine may be as off the wall as mine (an Ithaca Intersystems), but I was abe to bash the information from my modem7 overlay into the kermit machine dependent modules in two hairraising nights so that is a possibility. Kermit is also handy if you have to access your mainframe through a local area net which does not permit full 8-bit up- and down loads. I use Kermit for work and MODM700 for fun.

If you are using MEX, there is a status flag, FILTER, that can be set to filter out all the lower non-printable characters. Be sure to see that the FILTER is set OFF.
