I suspect I misunderstood the manual when it said "Use VT50DPY for
vt50,vt52 and vt100 terminals."
The manual also mentions command options like /24 (use 24 lines instead
of 12) and /DCA (use cursor
control instead of spacing) but I am not sure how to supply those via
the run command as in
run $vt50dpy /24 /dca
like that? It complains that it can't find some file, where run
$vt50dpy starts up fine.
I suppose I need to make a CCL.. right? :^)
Well, Kermit did the same thing as the two
terminal programs.. Even
though they say they are vt100 compatible, they still spew garbage
and don't make the proper screen with vt50dpy... however vt50dpy
running on a serial port on the host system works fine.. I just want
to work at that terminal.
what's funny is the terminal emulators work fine with teco/vt. I
suppose vt50dpy makes more use
of the terminal control codes..
Please pardon my ignorance here, I'm going out on a limb ...
vt50dpy as in VT50/VT52??
VT100's were ANSI, VT50/VT52 were DEC specific.
They used way different programming codes.
