I have a Kaypro 2X that I use to access the computer systems on campus. I need to access Sun & AT&T machines. Logging on is no problem. The problem comes in when I use the jove editor. What terminal emulation should I be using to use jove? Or should I be using a different editor all together? The editors (I know of available) are: jove, emacs, vi. I've tried vt100, and adm5. adm5 works better than vt100 but not the best. Any ideas? What about a different terminal program? I have kconnect (developed here for use w/ kaypros), mex, and mdm7. Any ideas/comments appreciated. -Rhonda -- Rhonda Gaines | University of Virginia phone: 804-924-6265 | Thornton Hall bitnet: gaines@virginia.bitnet | Applied Mechanics Program internet: gaines@virginia.edu | Charlottesville, VA 22903-2442

Tell whatever that you connect with that your terminal is an ADM3A and the terminal emulation will work just fine.

Hello u Kaypro'ers: ADM3 is the stock terminal type for Kaypros, unfortunately, my VAX here don't support anything but VT-type terminals. There is an emulator on SIMTEL if you can access it. Other wise the MAXROM 84 from microcornucopia will give you VT52 emulation in ROM. I got it a few months ago & have had no problems with at all. Actually, I just got a quad drive for 50$A and now have 780K storage! I love it. For 79$US it's a fair deal. Anyways there you go . . . > > Flame me, if I fouled up.. No worries, mate!

The Kaypro screen uses a superset of the adm3a terminal commands. In other words, Mex, Kermit and other modem programs will (should) work fine if you tell your host that you have an adm3a. Unfortunately, that is a rather slow and limited set of commands. The following termcap and terminfo entries have worked well for me over the last few years. They make use of the Kaypro's extra features, such as insert line, delete line, clear-to-eol, etc. To use the termcap entry, save it to a file such as /home/me/kaypro.tc. Now tell everyone about it by typing setenv TERM kaypro; setenv TERMCAP /home/me/kaypro.tc if you use C-shell. In Bourne or Korn shell, type TERM=kaypro ; TERMCAP=/home/me/kaypro.tc ; export TERM TERMCAP To use the terminfo entry, save it to a file such as kaypro.ti. Now, set your terminfo database to your own directory by typing either setenv TERMINFO /home/me or TERMINFO=/home/me ; export TERMINFO and then compiling the terminfo file with the command "tic /home/me/kaypro.ti". No, I don't guarantee perfect results, but it usually works for me. --------------------------- termcap ------------------------------------- # # Shannon Nelson # 7/12/85 # # ky|kaypro:am:cr=^M:do=^J:nl=^J:bl=^G:\ :le=^H:bs:cm=\E=%+ %+ :cl=1^Z:co#80:ho=^^:li#24:ma=^K^P:nd=^L:up=^K:\ :dl=\ER:al=\EE:\ :kd=^J:ku=^K:kl=^H:kr=^L:\ :ce=^X:cd=^W:\ :dC=3:dT=3: --------------------------- terminfo ------------------------------------ kaypro, am, xon, cols#80, lines#24, bel=^G, clear=^Z$<1>, cr=\r, cub1=\b, cud1=\n, cuf1=\f, cup=\E=%p1%'\s'%+%c%p2%'\s'%+%c, cuu1=^K, dl1=\ER, ed=^W, el=^X, home=^^, il1=\EE, ind=\n, kcub1=\b, kcud1=\n, kcuf1=\f, kcuu1=^K, -- Shannon Nelson Portland Technology Development, Intel (503) 642-8149 shannon@isc.intel.com snelson@ptd.intel.com ...uunet!littlei!intelisc!shannon Intel disclaims all knowledge of my existence.
