UniTerm incompatibilities with VT100 software
---------------------------------------------
-only 128*24 (64 in double width/height mode) characters in 132 column mode
(selecting this mode turns autowrap off to prevent lines wraping around,
but you can always select autowrap manually or with the proper command
sequence), no cursor
-no double width characters on color screen and in 49 row mode
-no self tests (do you really want to do this to your computer:
"Repeat Selected Test(s) indefinitely (until failure
or power off)" (C) DEC)
-no interlace
-no autorepeat control
-no smooth scroll down
Other Problems
--------------
-DEL as a padding character in Tek alpha mode is not suppressed
- solution: change padding character to NUL
- or wait for my binary patch (coming tomorrow)
Differences to V1.2
-------------------
-proper line drawing character set in 80 and 132 column mode!
-real nice character set in Tek4010 alpha mode
-VT52 mode
-128 columns * 24 rows mode
-input buffer size is 10'000 bytes
- <Alternate><Y> stops screen output
- <Alternate><.> toggles 49 / 24 row mode on monochrome screen
-a keyboardtable is loaded with the setup file
-a GS received in VT... mode switches to Tek4010 vector mode, but a CR,US or
ESC FF returns to Tek4010 alpha mode (this is the way everybody does it!)
this means you always have to switch manually back to VT... mode (<Alternate>
<F6>) except if you get a CAN which always (well nearly always (there's a
undocumented feature here!)) switches the screen back to the text screen
and sets VT... mode.
-VTTEST compatible, except for the bug in the terminal reports section
(I mean the bug in VTTEST)
(try VTTEST with a real VT100 or with VTCOM on a DEC Pro 380, you'll
be suprised)
-a lot of bugs fixed, including
-last character of single-line editor is not lost
-tab works properly
-wrap works like on a VT100
-ANSI insert/delete line and delete character commands
work properly with scrolling regions
-shifted function keys work
..............................
..............................
-a lot of other things............
-one last thing, in a late midnight hack I added a input translation
table to the file-capture function, beware: it hasn't been tested
at all!
<Alternate><O> allows you to select between |Raw|Trans|Load|
Default is Trans with a default table that has a negative entry
for NUL and DEL (this means they are ignored!). Load, loads a table
in the format of the sample table supplied with this posting.
>>>>I know this is horrible<<<<<
Thanks to all the people which reported bugs and made suggestions
(which naturally are still welcome), if I didn't answer your mail it
probaly was because I have a lot of trouble sending mail to sites
not on Bitnet or Arpanet.

BTW the + key on the keypad sends a ',' ........
