I am trying to run ka9q 0308 in a DESQview window ( not full screen ) and I am having problems with the terminal emulation mode and cursor movment. In particular: nulls show up as spaces on the screen ( very annoying ) cursor movement keys do not work. They don't seem to even generate an ascii sequence. (BTW can you set up the F keys to generate user defined asci sequences?) I dont have the null problem out of DESQview but I can't get the cursor keys to work. I should note that this is over a slip line. I have no way of testing this on Ethernet. I use nansi.sys under DOS (non-DESQview). I haved tried uansi and the pcMag ansi .com's under DESQview.... Any leads are highly valued. Thanks -- Phil Kemp CONVEX Computer of Canada Ltd. Voice:(403)-233-2815 UUCP:kemp@convex.com

It just dumps keyboard input out to the BIOS (hence the use of NANSI.SYS). If you can get your host to accept 'ansi' as a terminal type, then you should be ok. but you won't get the cursor keys to work ever. Right now, I and several others here at CWRU are working on adding VT100 emulation to ka9q. We are also looking into implementing a window/menu system. I wish I could give you a more favorable answer, but that's how it is. Send me some E-mail and I'll keep you informed of our progress. As for DesqView, I don't use it, so I can't tell you anything except that if it ain't there in the first place, it certanly won't be there under DesqView. As I stated before, we are working on VT100 emulation. We also have BOOTP (client and server modes), and hopefully we'll integrate a decent mailer. Anyone interested should send me E-mail.
