Short question: what's the {easiest,best,cheapest} way to do Tek401x
emulation on an Apollo running 9.7 Aegis? running 10.1 Aegis? I
seem to remember a comment in the Apollo X11 distribution about
their xterm not support TEK mode.

I remember an Apollo-supplied program called "4014" for SR9; don't know if any such animal exists for SR10. Some people at TRW asked me for help with it awhile ago....willing to call them for details if you think it's what you want. The emulation was pretty good (IMHO); it plotted graphics well. ...lori

Dana Roode (address too weird for me to Cc: to it) asked about Tektronix emulation in xterm. The xterm in Apollo's X11 distribution DOES support Tektronix mode; the way I read the comment in the release notes, Apollo does not support that mode - meaning they won't try to fix it if it doesn't work. The code is probably straight out of the official X distribution, and I imagine it is reasonably robust. I sure hope so - I intend to use it myself... - Harald Hanche-Olsen The Norwegian Institute of Technology

Versions of Domain/X11 for both SR9.7 and SR10.1 are based on X.V11R2 from MIT. The R2 xterm as it came from MIT had a number of problems including, we have been told, some in the Tek4014 code. We fixed a bunch of these on the VT100 side. The reason we don't offer Tek4014 support at SR9.7/SR10.1 is simply one of time and re- sources. Tek4014 should work as well as it does in any other pure MIT R2 X environment. At SR10.2, when X Window System support is bundled with base software (at no extra charge), we have moved to X.V11R3 for all libraries and clients. The R3 xterm is considerably cleaner; there are no outstand- ing problems reported against Tek4014. So we'll be supporting xterm Tek4014 at SR10.2. ____________________________________________________________ My opinions Keith Dawson Hewlett Packard Co. 508-256-0176 x5739 are my own.

Danford Corporation (San Pedro, CA) used to (and may still) sell a TEK-4010
emulator, as well as a TEK-4113 emulator. Their programs have a 'mailbox'
mode that can be used with TCP-IP, etc.
Another company (whose name I can't remember right now) offers TEK
emulators as well as VT-100 emulators (like TEK-4105).
I seem to recall the name Brighton, or something like that as the name.
