I just inherited a Tek 4025 graphics terminal and the associated IEEE488
plotter...
Couple 'o questions:
1) Dose anyone have a termcap for one of these?
2) Has anyone out there programmed one of these beasts and would like to
share horror stories?
3) Deos anyone know if you can add something other than the plotter and
the tape drives the this thing?
4) Could someone point me to someone in Tex that knows a lot about these
things?
Thanks for the net.help....

The Tektronix 4025 is undoubtedly one of the most poorly-designed terminals of all time. What happens on its display is dependent on what you're doing on the keyboard! This makes effective full- duplex use virtually impossible. >1) Dose anyone have a termcap for one of these? # # Tektronix 4025A # The following status modes are assumed for normal operation (replace the # initial "!" by whatever the current command character is): # !COM 29 # NOTE: changes command character to GS (^]) # ^]DUP # ^]ECH R # ^]EOL # ^]RSS T # ^]SNO N # ^]STO 9 17 25 33 41 49 57 65 73 # Other modes may be set according to communication requirements. # If the command character is inadvertently changed, termcap can't restore it. # Insert-character cannot be made to work on both top and bottom rows. # Clear-to-end-of-display emulation via !DLI 988 is too groady to use, alas. # There also seems to be a problem with vertical motion, perhaps involving # delete/insert-line, following a typed carriage return.

Sorry, folks, but this change is not a matter of one or two lines,
it seems to be at least half the (curses) program. Tek management does not
want us to post significant portions of any code which falls under Tek
copyright. We're supposedly SELLING the stuff, you see.
