Back in October, DEC Canada assured us that all the edu courses were
being rewritten to take advantage of VMS foreign terminals. So we
ordered some, and they don't. I guess we could get a refund, but in
the meantime we've restructured all our local educational courses to
teach users to use the DEC ed s/w. And we do have a few VT100 and
clones around. WE would really like to use the s/w.
I've seen requests for sources of VT100 clones. But has anyone out
there modified DEC's ed s/w to run on non-vt100 terminals. I expect some
courses would work fine on a dumb scrolling terminal with no graphics, if
the graphics stuff were pulled.
The courses we have are Intro to VMS, Intro to EDT, and Utilities &
commands. I know, the last one is not really CBI, and the EDT course is
of little use to people without vt100s anyway, so that leaves VMS intro.
Anyone got a solution to introducing hundreds of users to VMS? Thanks
in advance.
