<THROOP@JACOBS.CS.ORST.EDU>. This may be of interest to anyone who finds the characters become unreadable when using a Vt100 of other DEC emulator: What this all boils down to Henry is that a Vt100 terminal had 2 character sets C0 and C1 the second contained the DecTech characters. The noise or garbage is causing the switch in character sets. This happens to me occasionally or when I'm crazy enough to look at a binary file. Here is what to do. Use your editor to create a file with a control-o in it. In VMS use edit to do the following EDIT RESET.LIS<cr> *C [PF1]15[PF1][KP3] [CTRL-Z] EXIT you know have a file that when you issue the command TYPE RESET all subsequent characters will come out in the correct character set. This This works for snowterm, kermit, and Z-term the 3 I use most often Grant Delaney
