Dennett) Organization: Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY Lines: 27 A friend of mine let me borrow his 1030 modem for a while. He bought an ST and has another modem to use with it. He also let me borrow his copy of Chameleon. There seems to be a few bugs with the VT52 emulation. Maybe someone out there can help me. I have Chameleon version 4.03. The termcap file that came with it is for a terminal similar to a VT52. It really does not seem to work. For example, according to the temcap file, the code for a clear screen is Escape H Escape J. That does not work. Yes, I did set up Chameleon to emulate a VT52XL and executed the termcap file I downloaded from the Chameleon disk just like the instructions said. Does anyone know of this problem and possibly any soultions to what I've mentioned? Oh yes, something else I noticed. When Chameleon is set up to emulate the Glasstty and I am listing something to the screen and I fill up one line, the next character to print wraps around to the next line just like I would expect. However, when I am in either of the VT52 modes, it does not wrap. The excess characters just overwrite one another in the last column on the screen. Is this a known problem or is it perhaps a switch in the termcap file? Thanks for any help. If I can get this working, maybe I can use vi from home. Of course, any problems I am having could be due to operator error and not bugs in the software!. In case it matters, I am using this on an 8000XL. Just in case you are wondering and to prevent any flames, I am waiting for the Atari 1200 baud modem to hit the market. I will return the modem *and* software to my friend. I am not and have no intention of pirating this software.
