[comp.sys.amiga] Problems with online! with 1.2

news@oberlin.UUCP (02/12/87)

< line eaters unite! >

I recently got the Enhancer software and have been enjoying it very
much.  But I've been having trouble getting online! to work well.  There
is problem with the keymap when using the vt100 and vt102 modes.  Several
keys are mapped to either 4 or u (even with caps lock).  This does not
happen when I'm in Ansi or Tty modes.  And the program still works fine
in 1.1 .  Has anybody else had this problem?  Any possible fixes?  Please
email replies to me, we can only post news from this site (for now).
Thanks in advance.

I ran into the same problem with Online (version 1.27) with workbench/kickstart
1.2.  VT100 and VT102 modes have a lot of keys that generate 4's and u's.  I
was able to make Online! work by setting keymap USA0 before running it.  The
1.2 AmigaDOS documentation states that USA0 is the old 1.1 keymap, and that
some products may require it to run.  For some reason, TTY mode and ANSI don't
have this problem in Online!  Hope this helps anyone having this problem.

Online requires the default 1.1 keymap which is different from the
default 1.2 keymap (for compatibility with foreign keymaps).

So, if you want to use Online under 1.2, you must use the 1.2 SETMAP
command to change to the usa0 (default 1.1) keymap.

From CLI:  Setmap usa0
