[comp.windows.x] GIN-Terminators in xterm

k2@charly.bl.physik.tu-muenchen.de (Klaus Steinberger) (02/21/90)

Why there are no GIN-Terminators in xterm?
In a real Tektronix i can set these characters by setup
or a strap option (original 4014). Typically these characters
would be set to <CR> or <ETX> .

We need this because our Graphics Software needs a <CR> as
GIN-Terminators.

Sincerely,

I don't think that you can customize a Tek GIN mode terminator in xterm,
but CR does take it out of GIN mode -- from looking at the code, at least,
that's the intention.  ETX appears to be ignored.
