Hi! We have a heterogenous net with machines from SUN and DEC. Some of the DEC machines with ULTRIX, some with VMS. We have software which runs on DEC/VAX under VMS. I want to use it from my SPARCstation. I can open a xterm on my SPARCstation and open a telnet session on the VMS machine - so far so good. The problem: The software requires a vt300 terminal or a DECterm for some grafic outputs. So my question is: Is there an xterm which can emulate a vt300 terminal or does something like a DECterm emulator for SUN/X11 exist? regards ----------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Czech email czech@gmdzi.gmd.de GMD-E.I.S. czech@gmdzi.UUCP P.O.Box 12 40 D-5205 St. Augustin 1 Tel: (+49) 2241 14 2841 Germany Fax: (+49) 2241 14 2342 -----------------------------------------------------------------

My mterm's ANSI-with-DEC-extensions mode was written to a VT330 manual. Depending on what you need it may be good enough. It does not do 80/132 column switching, keypad keys, or REGIS graphics. If the font contains line-drawing characters in the proper places, it does know how to use them. It does do double height and/or width characters, and it does handle the bold/light, italic (if an appropriate font is available), underline, blinking, reverse video, and invisible character attributes (CSI ... m sequence). (Fast blink and strike-through may show up eventually.) It is believed to be 8-bit-clean when run with the appropriate option[%], and if the font contains the proper glyphs it can handle ISO Latin-1 just fine. It can be gotten by anonymous ftp (132.206.1.1, cd to X/mterm.src and get mterm.README, and read it for further instructions). I can also mail copies if necessary. [%] As distributed, it strips the high bit by default, because for me, stripping parity bits is more generally useful than 8-bit character handling. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
