Berch) Organization: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore CA Lines: 17 Pardon me if this is a completely Joe question, but I've been asked to check out whether a VT100 (real or emulator) can be made to work with sysline(1), via a special termcap, some sort of initialization string, etc.? My understanding was that VT100s (we don't have any real ones here, only various emulations on PCs, Macs, and non-DEC terminals) don't have an addressable, writable status line, but I'm willing to be corrected. Any info appreciated, preferably by mail as I don't get to comp.terminals often. Thanks, Michael C. Berch mcb@tis.llnl.gov / uunet!tis.llnl.gov!mcb / ames!lll-tis!mcb
