Could someone point me to a VTxxx terminal emulator for Amiga (or ST) Minix? Preferable something I can use ZMODEM with. Also, what's the best tcsh or ksh like shell to use? Does CLAM work on Amiga (ST)minix? -- W. John Guineau grep meaning life | more VMS Development Digital Equipment Corporation guineau@star.enet.dec.com

John Guineau grep meaning life | more >VMS Development >Digital Equipment Corporation guineau@star.enet.dec.com I am currently working on three projects: - The Extended Bourne Shell. This thing is to become POSIX compliant, and includes things like functions, builtin-commands-redirection, command line editing, history etc etc. There are already some people using it, and I plan on releasing a beta version on the net within one or two months (since I'll soon have summer holidays). It is based on the Minix 1.5 shell, and completely compatible. - A windowing package for Minix. Fred van Kempen originally wrote this thing, and I am improving it a little. This is NOT a graphics window package, just termcap based. - With this package, I am writing a full-screen terminal emulator. Today I got vt100, ansi and Minix emulation to work OK. It will become a little clone of the well-known TELIX communications program for MS-DOS. I expect this one to be ready in a month or so, though you need to implement non-blocking reads in the kernel. I use the TIOCICNT call, which is a part of Advanced Minix (Ha! I have it!). TIOCICNT returns the number of characters available in the input buffer. So, I think I made some people very curious. Just have a little Patience.. Miquel. (I am posting this at school, but you can also reach me as miquels@drinkel.nl.mugnet.org).

As it turns out, MINIX provides enough ANSI escape sequences to make it look sort of like a VT100. If you set the TERM variable in .profile to vt100, and then do a $SET TERM/DEV=VT100 on the VMS system, it works well enough to use editors etc. (from minix sh) set TERM=vt100 export TERM Thanks to Dave Wecker for the help. -- W.
