[comp.os.vms] terminal driver question

eaeu035@ORION.CF.UCI.EDU (Dau-Tsuong Lu) (04/13/88)

We're desperately seeking a way to do binary input on a microvax ii
using rs232 terminal line.  sys$qiow with extended characteristic tt$2_pasthru
and all terminator characters cleared does not store characters with ascii
code between 0 and 32 in buffer. How come ?
Bright ideas welcome.  Thanks in advance.

You could give the exact call.  I've had nothing but success doing exactly
what you describe.
