Well, > enough of me for today, Should sources be posted to this newsgroup, or is there another place to put machine-readable (rather than people-readable) messages? Anyway, three TRS-80's owned by a non-profit organization are sitting in my basement: (1) a Model III with 48K, limping disks, and RS232, (2) a Model III with 48K, no disks, and RS232, and (3) a Model 4 with 64K, no disks, no RS232. I also have a program that makes the 80x24 screen in the 4 accessible to a Model III disk OS, but it doesn't work reliably with the cassette OS in ROM, and I can't fix it because I don't have the source. So I can't use the VT132 terminal emulator, even if I knew how to move the RS232 hardware from the III to the 4. The III's run a terminal emulator based on one copyrighted by Ron Bemis (somewhere in Oregon). I added the ability to send DEL and BREAK and a cursor-addressing capability. I also changed the disk file transfer capabilities to cassette capabilities (because I didn't get the disks until later, and haven't had time to put the disk capability back). I use it for UNIX(tm) systems and for TSO (yechhh!). It works with vi and curses on all the UNIX machines I use, but it can't emulate any well known terminal because of its 64x16 screen, so I had to write termcap and terminfo entries for it. Do I have anything anybody else wants? Does anybody else have anything I can use? M. B. Brilliant Marty AT&T-BL HO 3D-520 (201)-949-1858 Holmdel, NJ 07733 ihnp4!houem!marty1
