[comp.sys.amiga] Tek4014 help

brent@questar.QUESTAR.MN.ORG (Brent Nordquist) (01/14/89)

I've got the Tek4014 program (version 2.65) that was posted to the net
a while back.  I can get it to draw OK, but I don't have any
documentation and I can't get it to change colors (that IS what makes
4014 distinct from 4010, isn't it?)

Does anyone have the documentation for the program?  Or know how to
set color?

Failing that, does anyone have Tek4014 documentation?

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

Brent

No, BOTH the tek 4010 and 4014 are monochrome terminals.  The author of
the tek emulator added his own ideas of commands to support colors.

I recall the docs are in the source code.  It should be in one of the
fish disks.

Yes, I do.  I got it by calling the local tektronix sales rep.  The Tek 4014
manual used to be about $14.

I'd strongly recommend that you forget about Tek4014 (which was largely a hack)
and locate a copy of VLT by Marvin Weinstein and Willy Langeveld instead.
It has all of the features you'd want.  Not to mention a 60-page manual.

Even if you're not going to do graphics, it's one of the best PD terminal
programs around.
