Does anyone know of a PD utility that will let me emulate a Tektronix 4010/4014
terminal in an Apollo window? Low-cost commercial packages would also be of
interest.
Thanks -

Every one has been buggy or badly designed and the support has been simply pitiful. Unfortunately, they have been one of the few firms to offer a number of programs and hardware addons that meet some important needs on Apollo systems.

The "xterm" utility that's provided on the X Window System tape contains a 401x emulation mode. Of course, that doesn't use an Apollo window, but rather an X window. /oj

I would not recommend Apollo's DTEK Tektronix 4014 emulator package. Our experience with it has been poor. Among other things, it is limited to reading disk files containing Tek 4014 commands or to dialing out on an SIO line (an RS232 port). The copy of DTEK that we got would *not* turn your window into a virtual terminal like the VT100 emulator does at let you then run programs meant for a Tektronix terminal. You must run your programs and pipe their output into a disk file after which you can use DTEK to examine the result. There was no way to run DTEK as an interactive terminal emulator. When I called the software support office, they said that they had no plans to update the package. Unles they have changed their minds since then, I would recommend *against* buying DTEK. -- David Krowitz krowitz@richter.mit.edu (18.83.0.109) krowitz%richter@eddie.mit.edu krowitz%richter@athena.mit.edu krowitz%richter.mit.edu@mitvma.bitnet (in order of decreasing preference)
