[comp.sys.apple] VT100 parameters needed

BI.MORRISON%SCIENCE.UTAH.EDU@wasatch.utah.edu (Tom Morrison) (08/04/89)

The University of Utah has an electronic card-catalog system for
Marriot Library.  I can use this catalog from home through a 1200 baud
dial-up.  Unfortunately, my terminal program Ascii Express ('82),
running on and Apple][+, does not have the parameters for VT100
emulation.

So what I need are the following parameters:

---     XY coordinate offset: tells the terminal the next two chars
        will be screen coordinates.

---     XY transmit order: order in which screen coord will be sent, either
        X,Y or Y,X.


---     Lead-in Character: tells the terminal that the next characters sent
        will denote special screen functions (given below)

---     Clear Entire screen
---     Clear to end of screen
---     Clear to end of line
---     Hi-lite  (bold)
---     Lo-lite (cancel bold)
---     Cursor Home
---     Address cursor ?
---     Cursor up
---     Cursor forward

If there are a few other terminal parameters you feel are important,
then include them.  I may be able to implement them.

Thanks in advance,
                Tom Morrison

Alas, VT100 emulation is more complex than ASCII Express can deal with.
You can get a very nice VT100 (for even a 48K ][+) via ftp from
cunixc.cc.columbia.edu or by email from KERMSRV@CUVMA.BITNET (spell
KERMSRV carefully -- there's only 1 'E' :-)
