[comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer] VT-100 control sequences

skeeve@pawl.rpi.edu (Sean C. Cox) (03/19/90)

   Does anyone know where I can find a listing of VT-100 control sequences?
I'm mainly interested in the color controls. Any pointers would be greatly 
appreciated.  I have access to ftp.

                                    -Sean

Color vt100's?  where can I get one? :-)  I don't believe there are color
controls for vt100's are there?

    My copy of the DOS user's manual has such a list under ANSI.SYS,
with some more information under PROMPT.  kermit's documentation also
includes those escape sequences.

No.  The color controls in MS-Kermit are an extension only it supports, and
are identical to the controls in ANSI.SYS.

The MS-Kermit docs contain a full list of vt102 (in the 2.32 docs) or vt320
(in MSKIBM.VT) escape sequences.

The MS-DOS Kermit User Guide has a list of VT-100 control sequences that 
includes non-DEC color control extensions that work within the MS-DOS
Kermit VT-100 terminal emulator.  

For ftp try watsun.cc.columbia.edu.  I haven't tried it myself, but have it
in my notes.

Except that ANSI.SYS doesn't accept VT100 control sequences.  The best
that can be said of it is that it is a sick parody of a VT100 - maybe
it should apply for Saturday Night Live.   :-)

Somebody should tell Microsoft that on a real ANSI terminal, ESC [ J
and ESC [ 2 J do NOT do the same things (to name only one of the many
crocks in ANSI.SYS).

The question is, does the original poster want the ANSI.SYS sequences,
VT100/VT200/VT300 sequences, or the full ANSI terminal document?  
Sometimes they seem to be only marginally related to each other ...

The problem is that MS-DOS's sequences and VT-100 sequences aren't the same.
You're probably better off going with Kermit.
