-------- I have the latest version of VT100 off a Fred Fish Disk and am having a small problem. I have been running it with no problem off a floppy disk. Last week I bought an 80MB Quantum drive and Hardframe 2000. The problem is this: I copied the files for VT100 into a directory on my hard drive, now it won't run. It rolls up the window and then rolls it back down again with the error: "can't open Read device". What's the deal? I can still put in the floppy and run it that way. Do I need to assign something specially or anything like that? Does anyone have any ideas? I tried to e-mail my question to the author: Tony Sumrall acs@amahl.com, but the mail choked on me. Thanks in advance for your help. - Sean Schur

You also need arp.library in SYS:libs (where ever your SYS: directory is) This may be defined as LIBS: Also you need the j132 font in FONTS: (SYS:fonts). If you are booting to the hard disk, then this will be your SYS: device. In this case, you will need to make sure that the serial handler is in SYS:devs +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | # Simon Raybould | | # # # # # #### ## | | # # ## ## # # # # # B.T.Fulcrum | | # # # ## # # # # # CS4.2 | | ####### # # # # ### ###### Birmingham | | # # # # # # # # # | | # # # # # #### # # path: sie@fulcrum.bt.co.uk | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Note that this is NOT true for the "original" VT100 program (by Dave
Wecker et al). I believe that the above statements are true for a
derivative work.
