[net.micro.cpm] terminal translator program?

zielinsk@NADC.ARPA (01/01/86)

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.

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.
