[comp.os.msdos.apps] altering Smartcom II V3.1

ste@cbnewsm.att.com (Shaun T. Erickson) (12/20/90)

I am using Hayes Smartcom II V3.1 to emulate a VT100. I really like this
program, except for the way Hayes decided to emulate some of the VT100
keys. Although I've never personally used debug, it could be used to edit
the binary, allowing me to change the emulation - correct?

In addition to some of Hayes' emulations seeming silly, two of them just
don't work on my 386, and one of them is critical to my using the Oracle
database. Using ctrl-backspace to emulate the backspace key doesn't work -
it justs produces a delete (as if I hadn't used the ctrl key, and (here's
the critical one) using the PrtScr key with the numlock key on to emulate
the VT100's keypad comma doesn't seem to work at all, as it produces no
discernible output. Since Oracle uses this key to execute a query, I'm in
big trouble - what good is database you can't query?

Can some kind soul help me to accomplish the following? Then this program
would be just about perfect! I'm desperate, as I need to get this database
up and running (for use at work) asap.
