At the time I talked to Jeff Porter at CBM (the engineer responsible for the 1670 modem), he was sympathetic, but in the end was no help. I found a program called microVT, which is written by the same person that wrote vt100-128, works slightly better -- it is public domain. In the end I switched to using MEX in the CP/M mode. MEX is also public domain -- both programs are available on QuantumLink. MEX requires a slightly modified adm31 termcap/terminfo file. I have been using MEX for about twenty months, it is slow in handling backspacing and sometimes messes up the screen, but other than that it works well. If you would like a copy of my termcap or terminfo file for MEX, please let me know. Also, if you find a terminfo/termcap file that works with vt100-128 I would appreciate you sending me a copy. -- Bill Taggart {uunet | ihnp4}!wp3b01!wjt -- Bill Taggart {uunet | ihnp4}!wp3b01!wjt
