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...

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 -- -<>Dylan<>- morgan@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu
