Has anyone yet written a WordPerfect 5.0 (XENIX) terminal definition for the Tandy DT100 ? It seems that WPCorp, in their inifinite wisdom, released 5.0 with support for only a handful of terminals (as opposed to the NLA 4.2, which used up MUCH less memory and supported hundreds of terminals). I sat down with the skimpy DT100 manual and tried to create the definition, but there were too many holes. Responses via email would be greatly appreciated. -- < Alan H.

I had a client on 4.2 and converted to 5.0. The utilities on 5 don't seem to be the same as 4.2, but I copied a terminal def or two, and modified or renamed them under 4.2. I then copied these over to 5. As to the DT100 - tell the system that it's a Wyse75 and you should be in good shape. (or was that a Wyse85). The DT100 is just a rebranded Wysexx. -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: uunet!tarpit!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP
