I don't know if this is the right place for my question, but I'm desperate. I need to logon to another machine (running VMS on our DECnet) from my SPARC 1+ workstation console (SUNOS 4.1 on ethernet) and then run a graphic program RS/1 (what bad combinations :-( ). The VMS machine doesn't recognize sun terminals, but do support regis and vt220. Our version of RS/1 doesn't support X. The solution I have right now is to run the program from an xterm window, which is recognized as a vt100 terminal by my VMS machine and TEK4010 graphic terminal by RS/1. Apart from the fact that TEK4010 is black and write, and doesn't overwrite, I have to toggle between the vtmode and tekmode window. Does any expert out there in netland know a better solution besides emulating xterm? I also heard that SUN will come up with a REGIS terminal emulator in the near future, is it true? What is the difference between "xterm" and "psterm -t xterm". The latter didn't work when I logon to my VMS machine. One last question, how do I display gif files on my workstation. -- _______________________________________________________________________ Kelvin Y.
