Hello,
Could somebody help me with an SCO XENIX puzzle. Even
an RTFM would be appreciated if you can tell which FM to R,
I've looked till I'm blue-in-the-face.
Here's what I want to do:
I want to make at least one but not necessarily all of my
multiple screens (tty0[1-12]) emulate a tek4014 so that I can
run graphing softwarefrom the console. However, I can't seem
to convince this thing to interpret the escape sequences as
'draw a line from here to there', so I just get junk. I this
possible or do I have to run an external terminal in through
the serial port?

It is not possible to switch from a graphics multiscreen to a non-graphics multiscreen, but if you can live with that limitation, it is relatively easy to write a tek4014 emulator using the SCO CGI drivers. The advantage of the CGI drivers is that by changing one environmental variable, you can have output go to a printer or plotter instead of the screen. If there is interest, I'll post the tek4014 emulator we use, which can be adapted for other output devices by rewriting one header file. We've used the emulator successfully with the CGI devices (vga, ega, Laserjet, HP plotter, Deskjet, Epson printer), and with direct output to an HP plotter, and an Epson printer. -- Ronald Florence ron@mlfarm.uu.net {yale,uunet}!hsi!mlfarm!ron

There has been enough email interest that I have posted the source to
the tek4014 emulator we use to comp.sources.misc. The Makefile
creates a Xenix executable which produces output through the SCO CGI
drivers. By rewriting one header file, the code can be adapted to
drive devices other than the CGI drivers. The package includes, as a
sample, a header file to directly drive an HP plotter.

I have the opposite problem. I want to use CGI from home with MS-Kermit, which emulates a 4014. BUT, CGI has no driver for this terminal!
