I ended up writing a terminal emulator which runs under TRSDOS and looks to UNIX like an HP2621. It implements the entire termcap subset of the Hewlett Packard 2621 escape sequences so that it can be used for vi, vnews, rogue, etc. I have had no difficulty working with it into machines running SVR2 using terminfo. It also has the ability to copy a file of any length to local floppy disk and/or the printer. A configuration file is used to both override the default communications setup, and to initialize up to 26 macro keys. Let me know if you would be interested in a copy of the object of this program. In any event, since mail sometimes disappears into black holes along the way on the net, please let me know that you received this missive. If I do not receive confirmation I will attempt to re-send this message. Rich Strebendt ihuxn!res
