Are there programs out there that do simple screen handling and menu handling for VT100/220/320. I am trying to generate a simple user interface under os9 using the VTxxx. Also, I would appreciate any reference to good sources (books,articles,etc) on this subject. kobetitsch@pacs.picker.com

The only minor glitch with it that I have not had time to chases it the host/terminal dialog bug. About 70% of the time when the host ask for terminal ID the VT100 emulator does not answer back as it should. I could mail you the source I have either in CUTS, or S-REC format and use the AR utility to un-arc the file after cuts/decode is done. I did post the source in one of the past notes but it has gone into the bit bucket already unfortunately. Let me know if I can help further. {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} {} John Akermanis {} akermanis%troa01.enet.dec.com {} {} Digital Equipment {} DTN 631-7448 {} {} 4110 Yonge St. {} EXT (416)730-7448 {} {} Willowdale, Ont. {} ------------------------------ {} {} Canada, M2P 2C7 {} Born to Hack and Conquer {} {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

KBCom (comercial version) does very good VT100 emulation on the CoCo. It is sold by Second City Software for about 40$ (I think that is the price) Second City advertises in the Rainbow maganine if you need there ph # or address. There is also a PD termprogram called "vt100" that does adaquite vt100 emulation (doesn't support the "graphic" stuff though). It has a few bugs in it and locks up ocasionally. It is a "bare bones" termprogram with no transfer protocals in it. But, it may suite your needs also. -- Paul Jerkatis - Call the SandV BBS - 708-352-0948 (OS9/CoCo 3 support) UUCP: ...tellab5!vpnet!sandv!sysop Domain: sandv!sysop@vpnet.chi.il.us StG-Net: Sysop@SandV Delphi: MITHELEN
