Tektronix, Inc., Beaverton, OR. I don't know who you'd call, exactly (this is a sizeable company). I called around for about ten minutes to get you this information: you might try locating your local Tektronix Field Office and ask them (look in your closest metropolitan area phonebook), or call the nationwide Tek toll-free number 1-800-835-9433 and the Secretary should be able to help you. Also, 1-503-235-7202 (toll call) will get you the Media Services people (ask for Jan Foster), and you should be able to get documentation on the terminals of some sort. Tek 4010s are old graphics terminals that lead the way for direct storage vector graphics. The Tek 4025 was Tek's first (very) succesful raster graphics terminal. We still have quite a few of them in our labs (4010s, we have naught). The 4025s speak a very strange language and have no cursor-motion commands, so they are not terminals of choice around here. But they're still popular for graphics and especially for storing pages and pages and pages and pages of debugging output (you can scroll 'way back). Tek has hacked a version of vi so that vi can be used with 4025s, but curses and dpy are incompatible with the 4025. The terminal sitting on my desk is a Tek 4105, which is a much more powerful ansi/graphics terminal. > Teleray 1061 > Televideo (TVI) 912 Televideo > Wyse 50, 75, and 350 Wyse Hope this helps, Anne. _ ___ | | / _ \ James T.
