I saw a demonstration of the Wyse 150 terminal at the Canadian Computer
Show, and was quite impressed. However, there were a few questions I had
that not even the Wyse reps there could answer:
- The demo they were running showed a large number of fonts, some double
width, some double height, some vertical. Are these all built into the
system, does it have a bitmap facility, or are these downloaded fonts?
- There were some reliability concerns by some with the Wyse 60, which
this model supposedly replaces. Have these concerns been addressed?
- The demo also had small, icon-like graphic symbols like mailboxes and
folders. How were these graphics created and displayed?
- Has anyone done a termcap or terminfo entry for the 150 using native
mode?
Thank you.

We are using native mode and using a Wyse60 termcap with no problems. It is NOT a direct replacement for a Wyse60 because it only emulates about 70+% of the Wyse 60 commands. But the ones it does emulate it does exactly. If you are using fancy features of Wyse60 , you may have a problem and need a special termcap. I have not seen one yet. We run WP Office, WordPerfect, Professional, FoxBase+ 2.1, Realworld and a bunch of other things. Running on a CompuTone Intelliport AT8 card. Hope this helps. -- .. Computer Consulting Service ..
