I am having problems with the vt100 emulator supplied by Apollo.
It came without sources (why?!) so I cannot fix it. Is there an
alternative program, PD perhaps? All I really need is a way to
control the TEXT in a window: cursor addressing, erase to EOL,
erase to EOS -- via escape sequences of chars output to the window.
(I would also need a way to invoke the alternative instead of the
Apollo vt100 automatically when a program (e.g., vi) uses TERMCAP.)
The Apollo "vt100" thingy insists on changing the font to its own
choosing, and hangs mysteriously at times during a "vt100 rlogin".

PS: here is a little program that, when run on a remote machine
accessed via "vt100 rlogin" from my Apollo 3500 (1280_bw), causes
the window to hang after it exits:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sgtty.h>
struct sgttyb ostate;
struct sgttyb nstate;
ttopen()
{
ioctl(1,TIOCFLUSH,0);
sleep(1);
gtty(1, &ostate);
gtty(1, &nstate);
nstate.sg_flags |= RAW;
nstate.sg_flags &= ~(ECHO|CRMOD);
stty(1, &nstate);
}
ttclose()
{
fflush(stdout);
sleep(1);
stty(1, &ostate);
}
main ()
{
int c;
ttopen();
fputs ("hit any key: ", stdout);
c = fgetc(stdin);
fputc (0x1B, stdout); /* movecursor (24, 1) */
fputs ("[24;1H", stdout);
fputc ('\n', stdout); /* scroll */
ttclose();
exit(0);

What kind of problems are you having? Have you reported them? >(I would also need a way to invoke the alternative instead of the >Apollo vt100 automatically when a program (e.g., vi) uses TERMCAP.) You *might* be able to do that by replacing the vt100 program with it, I have no idea whether it would work though. >The Apollo "vt100" thingy insists on changing the font to its own One would expect the vt100 emulator to switch to a vt100 font :-). In any case, look in /sys/dm/fonts and you can replace the vt100 fonts with ones of your own choosing. >choosing, and hangs mysteriously at times during a "vt100 rlogin".

I don't think anyone can just simply cpf <new-font> /sys/dm/fonts/vt100xxx -r (I don't know which font vt100 uses; so I put in the xxx). The reason is that there are some vt100-ism in the fonts. The important ones are those fonts for the control chars (ASCII 1 to hex 1f). These chars may be missing from <new-font>. Use edfont to grab those control chars from the vt100 fonts and the rest from your favorite font. fclim --- gbopoly1 % nusvm.bitnet @ cunyvm.cuny.edu computer centre singapore polytechnic dover road singapore 0513.
