Sci. Lines: 47 Re: Request for a better terminal emulator for the 7300, especially file transfers... I have the recently distributed C-KERMIT (from net.sources) running on my PC7300 on my desk. The major problem I am having is that it tends to drop characters on large screen updates (and sometimes not so large.) If I find a fix I'll post it but I think this is a good start. If you are talking to other UNIX systems you can just put the unixpc TERMCAP in to the remote system and you probably won't need any further tty emulation (eg. vt100) for full screen stuff. Because it is nice to use the whole screen (not a window) to talk in I actually put 'kermit' into /usr/bin/wermit and invoke it as kermit with the following little prog: /* * BZS - (BU-CS) fake kermit command to set up window * environment before starting up. */ #define K "/usr/bin/wermit" #define K0 "kermit" main(argc,argv) int argc ; char **argv ; { int wfd ; if((wfd = open("/dev/window",2)) < 0) { perror("/dev/window") ; exit(1) ; } close(0) ; close(1) ; close(2) ; dup(wfd) ; dup(wfd) ; dup(wfd) ; argv[0] = K0 ; execv(K,argv) ; perror("exec") ; exit(1) ; } You could also use cu (eg. cu -s9600 -l/dev/tty000) and use the ~%put file, ~%take file commands, you could even use the above hack to put it into full screen. -Barry Shein, Boston University
