Thought that sounded familiar, VT50DPY was the continuously updating
SYSTAT thing?
The "bring the system to it's knees" program (along with Plane)?
Plane?
What is this, Plane?
PLANE? ooh nooo a flight simulator on a teletype :^)
(frame rate? We don't need no steenking frame rate)
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.
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? :^) Real VT100's had a hardware VT52 emulation mode,
or you could NOT use
DCA and it should run on a VT100.
Hmm play with kermit summore and get it to be a vt52.
But, a 7 character program name?? Thought RSTS and
the others were
6.3?
Gotta get RSTS system going here.
As soon as I get my SCSI drives going: 1 for RT11, 1 for RSX11M, 1 for
RSTS,
as soon as I get my UC08 going,
as soon as I .... get my teletype <he he>
:-)
