Has anyone besides myself noticed that the ASCII Send option of Vt100 (2.6)
is *really* slow? Anyway to speed it up?

You ain't gonna believe this one... I noticed the same thing while working on a machine without Kermit (well, with a lousy Kermit anyway). Try clicking the menu (right) button a few times. NO I'M NOT KIDDING. Don't ask me why but hey, it works! It might also help to dance around a bit and chant to the gods... ;-) -Ed -- <.> <.> Eduardo UUCP: ..!seismo!rpics!rpiacm!gator / ___ \ Santiago ARPA: SANTIAGO@DEC | \ / | Munoz VOX: 518-274-9124 | V | |\ /| Generic Disclaimer Number twenty-seven-B-stroke-six: \\ o o // The above was generated by an overly precocious Amiga running \\___// an AI environment written in FORTRAN, under my supervision. \^^^/ It bears no relation whatsoever to the views of Rensseltute.

Anyway to speed it up? Yes. The problem is that main() does a send of a file by doing a getc() followed by a single sendchar() followed by a Wait() on all the signals again--i.e., it sends a character and waits for it to echo, then sends the next one, etc. Not only is this slow, but it hung when I tried to use it on BIX, since I normally run BIX half duplex to save time and BIX wasn't echoing the sent characters. I implemented most of a fix last night, replacing the getc/sendchar pair with a fgets/sendstring pair (replacing the trailing newline with a carriage return). I'll try to post the diffs sometime this weekend. >You ain't gonna believe this one...

This works because clicking the right button gets out of the aforementioned Wait() call. Steve Walton guest: walton@tybalt.caltech.edu

Anyway to speed it up? It does that with me only during the first line. From then on (without clicking anything), it seems to work fine.

Hello! Yes, it's my third question in only two days, but please bear
with me.
I have found a perfect term-em setup, sort of... using VT100 v2.3
I have low memory usage, kermit protocols, and it works on the workbench
so I can call up other windows to use with it. Only one problem--
How can I get the Sun I hook up to to recognize the amiga backspace
key as a backspace? Currently backspace only puts control-H on the
screen, and I have to use the delete key to backspace. As long as I'm
asking, how can I get the delete key to just do a normal forward delete?
I hope someone knows how to answer these questions...

You can accomplish this in one of two ways: 1) issue an appropriate stty on the SUN (man stty on the SUN for more info) 2) upgrade to a newer VT100 and either issue "SWAP ON" in your vt100.init file or hit the SWAP menu selection in the Utilities menu. SWAP will swap BS and DEL. }Sandy Antunes "the Waupelani Kid" 'cause that's where I live... }antunes@astro.psu.edu Penn State Astronomy Dept -- Tony Sumrall author of VT100 2.9 (and 2.8a and 2.8 and...) acs@pccuts.pcc.amdahl.com <=> amdahl!pccuts!acs [ Opinions expressed herein are the author's and should not be construed to reflect the views of Amdahl Corp. ]
