[comp.sys.apollo] vt_100 config file?

ss@chip.UUCP (Steve Schossow) (07/31/89)

I'm also interested in getting the fonts I want out of the 
vt100 emulator.  I did a dmpf on /sys/vtserver (the vt100
server program) and found a reference to:

           ~user_data/vt100_config

I assumed this was documented somewhere but haven't found
it anywhere.  Anyone care to dig into this?

Partial dump of /sys/vtserver:

Looks like vt100_config might be part of an obsolete structure to switch
the KBD_$F1 and KBD_$L1 keys. 

Character fonts are rather simple. If you want full VT100 support, you need
to have the fonts vt100s and vt100l  in /sys/dm/fonts. The emulator
will pick which ever one is closer in height to your currently loaded font.
If vt100s or vt100l are not present, the vt100 character functions "bold,"
"blink," and others will not work.
