[mod.computers.vax] making scrft and SMG cooperate

NEVILLE@UMASS-CS.CSNET ("Neville D. Newman") (12/01/85)

The way that i have worked around the "scrft vs SMG" problem is to write
an SMG termtable entry that is equivalent to the scrft definition for
foreign terminal n .  Then simply call the SMG-defined terminal FTn where
the n's match.  Either stick the compiled version of this termtable in
with the default system-wide ones or point to it's directory with the
TERM$TABLOC logical.  You can then use both the  $Set term/dev=FT<n>
and  $Set term/FT<n>  forms of the command and you don't have to keep
changing the terminal type when you want to use, e.g., PHONE and MAIL
in the same session.

If you are currently using scrft, then you (should) have the source file
(scrft.mar or your own local equivalent) around.  You can decipher it to
guarantee that your SMG definition is equivalent.

Hope this helps.
