Archive-name: cutcp/12-Sep-90 Original-posting-by: bkc@OMNIGATE.CLARKSON.EDU (Brad Clements) Original-subject: CUTCP/CUTE 2.2TN/TC-C now available via FTP and EMAIL Archive-site: omnigate.clarkson.edu [128.153.4.2] Archive-directory: /pub/cutcp/v2.2-C Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) The latest version of Clarkson's CUTCP/CUTE (modified NCSA) is now available via FTP and EMAIL. This package includes tn3270, telbin, ftpbin, lpr, lpq and lprm. The LPR utilities are from the University of British Columbia. Following are two files, Copying instructions, and the Readme file. ---- Copying 9/12/90 - How to Copy CUTCP/CUTE 2.2TN/TC-C You can obtain the latest version of CUTCP/CUTE via anonymous FTP or via Email. 1. Anonymous FTP to omnigate.clarkson.edu (128.153.4.2) in binary mode, retrieve pub/cutcp/v2.2-C/tc.cutcp.zoo This is a Zoo archive, you may use Zoox.exe to uncompress this file on your DOS machine. If you do not have Zoox, you may also retrieve that file from omnigate pub/cutcp/zoo201.exe 2. Send email to archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu Subject: send cutcp tc.cutcp.zoo If you need to get a copy of zoox.exe, be sure to send cutcp zoo201.exe For a list of files in this directory, you can ask for send cutcp Index You will receive a collection of files which you should reassemble and decode (uudecode is the default format). After decoding, an output file will be placed in your directory. This file has a strange name. You should download the file in binary mode to your PC as 'cutcp.zoo'. For additional information on the archive server, send a mail message to the server with the command help ---- README CUTCP/CUTE 2.2D/2.2TN TC-C readme file 9/10/90 Clarkson University Tcp Communication Package Clarkson University Terminal Emulator Mail bugs to: cutcp-bugs@omnigate.clarkson.edu Mail discussion, comments and general questions to: cutcp@omnigate.clarkson.edu To signup to discussion list, send mail to: cutcp-request@omnigate.clarkson.edu NOTICE: CUTCP/CUTE is a revised version of Clarkson's NCSA 2.2C,2.2D and 2.2TN The name has been changed to reduce confusion between NCSA's product, and Clarkson's version. Be aware that the current work is based on NCSA Telnet version 2.2. You may notice that the version numbers are becoming more complicated. Digest as follows: 2.2D/MSC-B ^ ^ ^ ^ | | | |--- Release number | | |------ Compiler/Library (TC,MSC or NFS 'PC-NFS') | |--------- D for Telnet/rlogin TN for Telnet/Rlogin and 3270 |----------- Major.minor program version. *Please refer to the exact version when reporting bugs, etc. Since the creation of the cutcp mailing list, I've received many requests for new (sometimes impossible) features, and only a few bug reports. Users should be aware that the author has 'a real job' and can not spend all his time working on this package. If you have problems installing or operating this program, I beg you to seek local assistance before writing, calling, faxing or mailing questions to me. This is an unsupported product. I stress that now more then ever, if my email inbox receives too many questions, the questions will be discarded and less time will be spent on development and/or bug fixes. This sounds harsh, but the realities indicate that I am spending too much time answering such questions. My management frowns on this. Anyway, I encourage you to use the cutcp mailing list for general questions about this package. I also encourage everyone who can answer these questions to respond to the poster. Genuine bugs (not configuration problems) are welcome! Please send them to cutcp-bugs@omnigate.clarkson.edu This release ('C') consists of several major bug fixes, some obscure (and some useful) enhancements. Please see the Revisions list below, and consult the sample config.tel file included. Note that the REV -C release does not include the MSC only version.

This release is the second Microsoft version from Clarkson. Although my personal preference is for Turbo C, I've added MSC support in order to generate a PC-NFS version of the package. Hopefully a series of packages grouped under the CUTCP name will be released over the next several months. (printer gateways, PC based NFS server, LPD/LPR etc). If you sent me a wish list suggestion but don't see it in the revisions list, don't worry. If your request was reasonable, and doable (within the internal limits of the code), then it will show up some time. This release is to ensure that some major bugs have been fixed, and that the improvements thus far are bug free. Revisions, Bug fixes, Improvements (reverse chronological order) Release-C 9/10/90, adds, fixes or changes: 1. User configurable keymaps for both 3278 and vt100 sessions. 2. Screens up to 132 x 61 lines, and support for 3278-5, If you have EGA or VGA utilities for wide or tall screens, CUTE will read the current screen dimensions from Bios. If you don't have such a program, I suggest UltraVision from Personics (508)897-1575. 3. Rshell Client (ALT-V) 4. Topview/Desqview screen buffer detection (not tested) 5. FTP to PC detects disk full. 6. LNM VT100 escape SET/RESET sequence <ESC>[20h and <ESC>[20l for automatic <CR> after <NL> (default is off, used by Rshell) 7. Machine specific flags option sets 3270 mode and transparent data destination. 8. Rlogin now supports destination userid specification. 9. VGA support for 640 x 480 tek emulation. 10. Do terminal type loop fixed. 11. NOARPME config.tel option inhibits arp for self at startup. 12. 43 and 35 line mode on VGAs now fill screen. 13. Destination port number may be specified on command line. ( tn3270 "myhost 25") 14. Margin bell at column 72. 15. Bios=maybe mode for visually impaired. 16. Visual bell for hearing impaired. 17. Nested config.tel files using include=option. 18. DOS Environment config.tel options using $CUTCPnn= 19. Command line config.tel options using -e "myip=bootp" etc. 20. Incoming FTP warning bell for visually impaired. 21. Tek emulation supports colors 0-F on EGA and VGA. 22. FM and DUP work in tn3270. 23. Sounds= command in config.tel allows user tailored sounds. 24. The NFS version now includes FTPBIN, but its still flaky. 25. Script command files for 'auto dialing'. 26. Other stuff that I've fixed but forgot to write down. 27. TurboC VROOM swapping to EMS or EXTENDED Memory (code only). Use -me or -mx (tn3270 ? gives you more help) 28. ^H sends ascii(8) regardless of erase= setting (for emacs). Release-A 2/13/90, adds, fixes or changes: 1. Echo Negotiation improved. Default telnet echo is now local. 2. Binary mode now works correctly. 3. Compile time option for 'PACKET DRIVERS ONLY' saves 12K of RAM. 4. Throughput measurement test reachable via ALT-P/terminal type, or set vtwrap=T in config.tel file. 5. Domain name timeout handling has been improved, but is still slightly broken. 6. Maximum window size is now 61 lines (telbin -l 61 if you can read it). 7. TSO systems are now handled, users can switch from linemode to 3270 emulation and back multiple times. 8. BootP now requests RFC1048 mode in the vendor field. 9. Van Jacobson TCP header compression enabled on slip lines if config.tel entry has vjc=yes 10. Clock is configurable, clock=none, clock=12, clock=24 followed by optional :timezone (for MSC version) or use dos set TZ=EST5EDT 11. Rlogin! (yeah) Use ALT-Z to rlogin, or specify port 513 12. Be sure to set your userid using myname= in config.tel 13. Print Through mode (ESC[5i) now switches modes immediately such that escape sequences won't appear in capture file. 14. Screen updating is faster. 15. Capture file may be written in text (default) or binary mode. capfile="filename,b" or ="filename,t", also settable using ALT-P 16. FTP Server Fixes (in Telbin or TN3270 only) A. Now remembers starting directory, restores on quit. B. Dir command now lists bytes available. C. LS command now does not return directories D. MKDIR, RMDIR and DELE now supported. E. ALT-T doesn't put -n on command line. F. files PUT to PC are truncated as required. 17. TCP handling improvements A. Nagle B. Slow-start and congestion avoidance. C. handles remote sending 0 window. 18. VT100 graphics characters handled better, now in scrollback buffer. 19. ALT-D (screendump) works in scrollback mode. 20. 3270 will autoskip fields seperated by a single space. (i think) 21. PC-NFS support.. ALPHA mode now.. tn3270.exe and telbin.exe seem to work, but due to severe limitations in the NFS toolkit, you can only have three active sessions, plus ftp, plus nameserver lookup. Ftpbin.exe is totally broke, so its not in the package yet.
