Is 0.85 the latest version? I have a problem when calling into a Unix system in that every so often the first character on a line appears on the previous line on the right hand side. It is very common with the ls command. The baud rate is 2400

ZTerm v0.85 is the latest release. I am working on v0.9, which I would like to get out before System 7, but no promises. > I have a problem when calling into a Unix system in that every so often > the first character on a line appears on the previous line on the right > hand side. There is a problem that the default tabs are not set at startup. You can set them by turning on Show Controls, then turning it back off. If you receive a tab and none are set, it moves the cursor to column 80. -- Dave Alverson Dave.Alverson@samba.acs.unc.edu -- ============================================================================= Extended Bulletin Board Service, Research & Development Office of Information Technology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill internet: bbs.acs.unc.edu or 128.109.157.30

Actually, the first character appears at the end of its line, with the rest of the characters wrapping to the next line. The author is aware of this, also for over a year. A work-around: dial in TWICE -- that is, dial up your system, log in completely, then pull down the Dial menu and select your system again, then click the Cancel button. You'll get an "ATDT 5551234: unknown command" message from your system's shell, but the formatting problem will be fixed for that session. It's a nice program -- it's my choice for dealing with our mainframes and with GEnie. -- | Ralph P Carpenter | InterNet: Ralpho@acc.fau.edu | Blake's 7: | | Sr Programmer/Analyst | Bitnet: Ralpho@FauVax | The | | Florida Atlantic Univ | Ci$: 74015,644 GEnie: Ralpho | Motion | | at Boca Raton | Vox: 407/367-2616 Fax: -2749 | Picture |

The problem is that zterm does not have hard tabs, which your Unix
system expects the terminal to have (usually at every 8 columns).
Many programs, notably ls, try to save characters by transmitting one
tab instead of many spaces whenever appropriate.
So every time your shell tabs, zterm sends the cursor to the last
column. To tell your shell that your terminal has no tabs:
stty -tabs
