I put this version on the Software Exchange machine while at SUG. What is vttool? It is three different programs. It can be used as a vt100 emulator for terminals, SunView or X Windows. It can also be used to add mouse-clickable function keys to any tty-based program running under SunView or X windows. The three programs are: vtem - converts vt100 escape sequences to termcap sequences. Runs on any reasonable terminal - emulates a VT52, VT100, VT102. JQ Johnson (jqj@rt-jqj.stanford.edu) made many improvements over the earlier version. vttool - SunView program that adds mouse-buttons to any tty-based program. It now does keyboard remapping. This lets you use arrow keys with auto-repeat. xvttool - X windows (XView 2.0 ) version of vttool. When xvttool is executed as xtntool, it can be used with tn3270 and perform 3270 terminal emulation. vttool and xvttool can also be used with other tty-based programs that might benefit from labeled function keys. You can also map your function keys to send certain sequences, and even remap your tab and delete key - on a per window basis. Bruce G.

There are a *lot* of people who have gateways that won't take things bigger than 20k (either uunet or cs.utexas.edu for one, I believe!). Someday I'm going to have to go through the archives and break things up, but it would save me a lot of hassle if you guys could just do them as you submit them. -bdg]] FTP: Hostname : titan.rice.edu (128.42.1.30) Directory: sun-source Filenames: vttool.shar.{123} Filesizes: 213353 bytes in 3 files Archive Server Address: archive-server@rice.edu Archive Server Command: send sun-source vttool.shar.{123}
