Archives of past issues of the Info-IBMPC Digest are available by FTP only from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL in directory PD2:<ARCHIVES.IBMPC>. WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL can be accessed using LISTSERV commands from BITNET via LISTSERV@NDSUVM1, LISTSERV@RPIECS, LISTSERV@FINTUVM and in Europe from EARN TRICKLE servers. Send commands to TRICKLE@<host-name> (example: TRICKLE@TREARN). The following TRICKLE servers are presently available: AWIWUW11 (Austria), BANUFS11 (Belgium), DKTC11 (Denmark), DB0FUB11 or DTUZDV1 (Germany), IMIPOLI (Italy), EB0UB011 (Spain) TAUNIVM (Israel) and TREARN (Turkey). If you are unable to access SIMTEL20 via Internet FTP or through one of the BITNET/EARN file servers, most MSDOS SIMTEL20 files, including the PC-Blue collection, are available for downloading on the Detroit Download Central network at 313-885-3956. DDC is a networked system with multiple lines that support 300, 1200, 2400, and 9600 bps (HST). This system is a subscription system with an average hourly cost of 17 cents per hour. It is also accessable on Telenet via PC Pursuit and on Tymnet via StarLink outdial. New files uploaded to WSMR-SIMTEL20 are usually available on DDC within 24 hours. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sun, 4 Mar 1990 12:08 MST From: Keith Petersen <w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL> Subject: Recent msdos uploads to SIMTEL20 The following files have been recently uploaded to SIMTEL20: NOTE: Type B is Binary; Type A is ASCII Filename Type Length Date Description ============================================== Directory PD1:<MSDOS.AT> VIEWCMOS.ARC B 15374 900225 Display contents of AT CMOS RAM, w/C source Directory PD1:<MSDOS.BATUTL> TSBAT16.ARC B 33819 900304 Collection of useful batch files by Timo Salmi Directory PD1:<MSDOS.BBS> BBSCOMP.ARC B 56067 900227 Compares BBS file lists, lists differences Directory PD1:<MSDOS.BBSLISTS> BBS0390.ARC B 79586 900303 'THELIST' national BBS list for Mar. 1990 Directory PD1:<MSDOS.C> BOSS01.ARC B 147542 900227 Window Boss 02.15.90, windows for C pgms, 1of4 BOSS02A.ARC B 232906 900227 Window Boss 02.15.90, windows for C pgms, 2of4 BOSS02B.ARC B 218724 900227 Window Boss 02.15.90, windows for C pgms, 3of4 BOSS03.ARC B 98405 900227 Window Boss 02.15.90, windows for C pgms, 4of4 TABX.C A 3660 900224 Filter that expands TABS to SPACES Directory PD1:<MSDOS.CALCULATOR> HPREAD13.ARC B 22966 900301 Transf HP Calc infrared data->PC using $4 part Directory PD1:<MSDOS.DATABASE> EXCHK4_1.ARC B 226243 900227 ExpressCheck v4.00 check book manager, 1 of 2 EXCHK4_2.ARC B 98164 900227 ExpressCheck v4.00 check book manager, 1 of 2 Directory PD1:<MSDOS.DESKACCESS> MTSLBB61.ARC B 149160 900225 Address & phone number organizer/phone dialer SCHED14D.ARC B 176710 900228 Daily schedule & notepad pgm - shareware DEMO Directory PD1:<MSDOS.DESQVIEW> TAME220.ARC B 54791 900227 Speed up pgm execution in DesqView/VM386/other Directory PD1:<MSDOS.DSKUTL> AT720.ARC B 1301 900224 BIOS patch for 720K disks in 1.2M drive, SYDEX COPYQ210.ARC B 56883 900224 Quick multiple diskette format/copy/verify DNAV14.ARC B 77652 900225 Disk Navagator: point & shoot HD manager shell REFORM16.ARC B 63973 900303 Disk defragmenter with TurboPascal v5.0 source TCOPY.ARC B 59914 900225 Fast diskette format/copy/verify uses EMS/Ext Directory PD1:<MSDOS.EDITOR> 51GRDRVS.ARC B 88970 900303 Graphics drivers for WordPerfect v5.1 GAL210A1.ARC B 216064 900303 Galahad word processor from Clarkson Univ,1of4 GAL210A2.ARC B 228352 900303 Galahad word processor from Clarkson Univ,2of4 GAL210A3.ARC B 180436 900303 Galahad word processor from Clarkson Univ,3of4 GAL210A4.ARC B 171947 900303 Galahad word processor from Clarkson Univ,4of4 QDV.ARC B 3480 900303 DESQview setup file for QEdit text editor QEDIT21.ARC B 166916 900303 Small fast memory-based text editor QMAC21.ARC B 48747 900303 Macro compiler/decompiler for QEdit21 QNG21.ARC B 68148 900303 Norton Guides database for QEdit21 Directory PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS> SIMIBM.ARC B 228292 900304 SIMTEL20 MSDOS files listing with descriptions SIMIBM.IDX A 422255 900304 SIMTEL20 MSDOS files listing with descriptions UPLOADS.FEB A 25539 900228 List of uploads to SIMTEL20 for February 1990 Directory PD1:<MSDOS.FILUTL> LZEXE-E.ARC B 18181 900224 Compress most EXE files and run them directly PS41.ARC B 93048 900303 Menu-driven search for text or find files XXENCDEC.ARC B 30096 900303 XXencode/XXdecode binary files to/from ASCII Directory PD1:<MSDOS.GIF> CSHOW810.ARC B 278624 900228 GIF/MAC/RLE view/print, Herc/CGA/EGA/VGA/SVGA GIF_LIB.ZIP B 183310 900301 Turbo C 2.0 library to manipulate GIF images Directory PD1:<MSDOS.HAMRADIO> MORSE26B.ARC B 64262 900225 Hams: Morse code training program by N0IAI NPRM9055.ARC B 22190 900303 FCC NPRM 90-55 Communicator license, full text Directory PD1:<MSDOS.LASER> FNTVIEW3.ARC B 92179 900303 View/clean HPLaserjet Portrait/Landscape fonts Directory PD1:<MSDOS.MENU> MRMENU.ARC B 42612 900228 Easy way to generate menus in BAT files Directory PD1:<MSDOS.PLOT> SPLOT57.ARC B 187158 900303 Screen Plot, two & three-dimension via prntr.

Camp) Subject: Proposed Mapping for IBM-PC Function Keys In an attempt to define some standards for the mapping of IBM-PC Function Keys (F-keys) into ansi escape sequences, I have been studying how various terminals and software packages work. This is by no means a complete investigation, and I have not made reference to any standards documents. The table of those keys sent by these programs is below. The first column is from the mskermit.ini take file that we are using now. The author professed that his choices were somewhat arbitrary, so it is just here for reference. The second is the codes sent by NCSA_Telnet. The third are those sent by kermit when no mskermit.ini file is present. The values in parenthases are those returned by the kermit 'show key' function. The vt220 definitions are derived from a Dec vt240 Series Programmer Reference Manual, experiments with a real vt240, and information about mapping 8-bit escape sequences into 7-bit escape sequences provided by Joe DupNick on the info-ibmpc mailing list. The last column is my proposed standard. I welcome your comments. We plan to provide mapping tables for these key sequences in various formats. Those include kermit take files with 'set key' definitions, NCSA_Telnet config.tel files, 'dkey' program scripts, Unix termcap and terminfo entries. We will also be establishing a set of definition for how these keys are used by Sas on our Unix system. There is some debate over whether these should reflect the operation of PC-Sas or perhaps CMS-Sas. The CMS-Sas operation seems more in line with what little I know about SAA, but some people are already getting used to the PC-Sas definitions and want those instead. I welcome debate on the subject. Note: a real vt240 has two sets of function keys. PF1-PF4 are called the "Auxiliary Keypad Keys". F1-F20 are called the "Top Row Function Keys". F1-F5 are reserved for functions local to the terminal. kermit keys: wubk NCSA Kermit vt240 recommended ermit Default .ini F1 ^[OP ^[OP ^[OP PF1=^[OP ^[OP F2 ^[OQ ^[OQ ^[OQ PF2=^[OQ ^[OQ F3 ^[OR ^[OR ^[OR PF3=^[OR ^[OR F4 ^[OS ^[OS ^[OS PF4=^[OS ^[OS F5 ^[Om ^[Om ^[Ow (\Kkp7) ^[Om F6 ^[Ol ^[Ol ^[Ox (\Kkp8) F6= ^[[17~ ^[[17~ F7 ^[On ^[On ^[Oy (\Kkp9) F7= ^[[18~ ^[[18~ F8 ^[OL ^[Ov ^[Om (\Kkpminus) F8= ^[[19~ ^[[19~ F9 ^[Ok ^Z ^[Ot (\Kkp4) F9= ^[[20~ ^[[20~ F10 ^[OM ^[OM ^[Ou (\Kkp5) F10=^[[21~ ^[[21~ F11 ^[[23~ ^[[23~ F12 ^[[24~ ^[[24~ F13 ^[[25~ F14 ^[[26~ F15 ^[[28~ F16 ^[[29~ F17 ^[[31~ F18 ^[[32~ F19 ^[[33~ F20 ^[[34~ AF1 ^[[23~ AF2 ^[[24~ AF3 ^[[25~ AF4 ^[[26~ AF5 ^[[28~ AF6 ^[[29~ AF7 ^[[31~ AF8 ^[[32~ AF9 ^[[33~ AF10 ^[[34~ SF1 ^[Ov (\KKP6) SF2 ^[Ol (\Kpcoma) SF3 ^[Oq (\KKP1) SF4 ^[Or (\KKP2) SF5 ^[Os (\KKP3) SF6 ^[OM (\Kkpenter) SF7 ^[Op (\KKP0) SF8 ^[On (\Kkpdot) Alt+0 ^[Op ^[Op Alt+1 ^[Oq ^[Oq Alt+2 ^[Or ^[Or Alt+3 ^[Os ^[Os Alt+4 ^[Ot ^[Ot Alt+5 ^[Ou ^[Ou Alt+6 ^[Ov ^[Ov Alt+7 ^[Ow ^[Ow Alt+8 ^[Ox ^[Ox Alt+9 ^[Oy ^[Oy Insert ^[?H ^[[2~ ^[[2~ Delete ^[?S ^On \127 (DEL) ^[[3~ ^[[3~ Up Arrow ^[OA ^[OA ^[OA (\Kuparr) ^[OA ^[OA Left Arrow ^[OD ^[OD ^[OD (\Klfarr) ^[OD ^[OD Down Arrow ^[OB ^[OB ^[OB (\Kdnarr) ^[OB ^[OB Right Arrow ^[OC ^[OC ^[OC (\Krtarr) ^[OC ^[OC Prev Screen ^[?i ^[Ou^[Ox (\Kupscn) ^[[5~ ^[[5~ (PgUp) Next Screen ^[?k ^[Ot^[Ox (\Kdnscn) ^[[6~ ^[[6~ (PgDn) Home ^[?a ^H (\Khomscn) ^[1~ End ^[?j ^[Ot^[Or (\Kendscn) ^[4~ Ctrl+PgUp ^[?c ^[Ou^[Ow (\Kupone) Ctrl+PgDn ^[?d ^[Ot^[Ow (\Kdnone) Ctrl+End ^[?b ^[OP^[Ot (\Kdump) Ctrl+Home ^[?a Find ^[1~ Select ^[4~ Bitnet: david@wubios.wustl ^ Mr. David J.
