There's also >something called vt100tool which I know nothing about. Before I came to Sun I worked at a place that had several Vaxes running VMS and we used Sun's Sunlink DNI (or somesuch) to connect to the Dec machines. DNI came with a vt100 emulator called vt100tool. I don't know if it is available separately or how it's packaged, call Sun sales. As I remember vt100tool worked well both for connecting to the Vax and for running ancient assembly lanuage programs on a remote machine with vt100 escape sequences hardwired in. I don't remember what kind of keypad support it had (if you wanted to run edt on VMS) but I think it was there. If you have Wollongong on VMS then you may just want to get the vt100tool and telnet or rlogin as opposed to using set host with DNI. -- Scott Wilson arpa: swilson@sun.com Sun Microsystems uucp: ...!sun!swilson Mt.
