Well following my posting of yesterday, we took my advice and begain
testing the 3.0 MS Kermit. I was running on 6.03 on SUN/OS version of SAS
and we tried the VT340 terminal definition (this is the DEC terminal that
gives 16 color graphics mode and is listed in the SAS/Graph Hardware
Interfaces manual)
Unfortunately, it don't work. The reason that it doesn't is that SAS
generates ReGis graphics and Kermit will handle only Sixel graphics.
I have talked to Peter Ruzsa at SAS and confirmed that there is currently no
direct way to generate Sixel graphics (there are some ReGis->Sixel conversion
programs). Having SAS generate Sixel graphics is on the Software Ballot and
Peter is willing to implement it if there is enough interest.
Send him your cards and letters :-)
