[net.micro.amiga] vt100

[ And then there were none . . . ]

I just got the vt100 emulator; great little program.  Glad to
see someone can make the Amiga sing.

Does the Amiga support parity, though?  I modified the program
to set parity and everything, but it doesn't seem to be sending
it.  Perhaps I should use a parity translation table on the output
side . . . this is for interface to MVS . . .

Also, the code seems to open a screen of 205 (or something like
that) lines . . . how well is this supported by the library routines?

I compiled the vt100 sources again today with lattice 3.03 and still have no
beep coming out of my stereo. VOLUME is defined as 64 in my vt100.init file.
I've double checked the stereo with the "say why doesn't this work" command.

Anyone else got beeps out of their version?

I spent last weekend trying to make the vt100 emulator (version 2.2) work
under Lattice.  I had moved the source code over to my Amiga the weekend
before and had applied all the patches from the summary posted to the net.
I was stopped by switches on the "cc" commands in the makefile, which I
didn't think were appropriate for Lattice, so I sent a query to Dave Wecker
who cleared up my problem.

I compiled it using lc1 and lc2 commands with no switches.  I got the GURU
Meditation listed in the next paragraph (Same exact numbers).  So, on a
guess, I upped the stack to 12000 and compiled it again.  This time it
compiled, so I tested it.  And changed the switches and compiled it.  And
tested it.  And changed the switches.  And tested it.  Every possible
combination of Lattice switches.

EVERY time I executed it I got a "Software Error" alert.  When I "Cancel"ed
the alert, I got a GURU Meditation of 00000004.000097B0.  Without fail and
before it did anything else.  I even added "printf"s to the beginning of
the program and they never even showed up.  I conclude from this that the
program is not doing anything weird, rather that the compiler and linker
syntax I used is wrong.  (I also tried executing it with various stack
sizes.)

Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Looks like nows a good time to post this.

Following is the Makefile I use with VT100 v2.2 and Lattice C. The
make is from one of the early fish disks, and it expects Fred's cc
command to be in c:

I twiddled the MANX and LATTICE defines to 0 and 1 (respectively) in
vt100.h, fixed a few other things relating to screen placement, and
ran a make, and everything worked like a charm.
