ERIC@ETSU.BITNET (Eric Job) (12/14/88)
We have two Wall Data Protocol Converters. Presently, we recommend
to users CrossTalk XVI because of its VT-100 emulation. One of the
problems we have is the way in which these protocol converters assign
3270 functions (i.e. PF3=<esc>3<return>). With CrossTalk, the vast
assortment of 3270 functions can be assigned to the F1-F10 keys (and
CrossTalk is flexible enough to allow SHIFT, CTRL and ALT as well).
But CrossTalk is really more than the user needs. Are there any
VT-100 emulators out there for PCs that will let the user define
the SHIFT, CTRL, ALT and plain function keys F1-F10 (better if
F1-F12)? Support of highlighting is also desired. Public domain
would be nice but it's not a requirement.
Thank you for your help.

We and many others have had good experience with kermit (especially 2.31) for this type of use. You can set (almost) any key to any output sequence. About the only thing of the vt100 class of instructions which is not supported is 132 col displays! -phil

It also has modes for VMS or Unix hosts, supports EDT and EVE editors under VMS, VI under Unix. The emulation also lets you redefine all function and editing keys to send text or escape sequences of up to 50 characters. The program can also emulate a VT-52, VT-102, Tektronix 4010 and 4014. The address is: Athena Systems Development Group PO Box 26062 San Diego, CA 92120-0062 (619) 549-4056 They have a shareware version for $ 35, and a fuller-featured version for about $ 99. We use both here with no problems. Jonathan Bayer Intelligent Software Products, Inc.
