[comp.unix.questions] VT100 emulation information needed

morgan@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu (Dylan Kaufman) (05/08/90)

Hi,

I am trying to find out as much as I can about vt100 and emulation
thereof.  What I am trying to do is to write a small terminal
mode package in TURBO Pascal for my IBM compatible with which I will
connect to my school's unix system.

I have the User Guide for VT100 from digital, but I have never written
something to emulate a terminal, and I have only a few vague ideas of
how to do it.

Any information sources or suggestions of how to go about this projet
would be appreciated.  Please mail them to me directly, and I will
post a summary to the net at a latter date.

By the way, assume that I have the source for the communications
routines, and don't need any more help with that (which I don't).  All
I am looking for is information on how to go about parsing and
effecting the emulation...

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

I am trying to write a small terminal mode program for my IBM
compatible which will only do vt100 emulation and allow file
transfers.

I have a VT100 User Guide from digital, but I am still looking for
more information.  I have never written, or seen the code for, any
terminal emulator.  

If anyone out there has seen any code (C or TURBO Pascal) which does
some kind of terminal emulation, text files which explain methods of
doing terminal emulation, I would appreciate knowing about them.
Also, if anyone can suggest him or herself how to go about it, I would
appreciate it.

Please send email responses directly to me, and I will post a summary
if I get any answers.

Thanks in advance,
-<>Dylan
