Date: 22 Jul 92 03:30:27 GMT
Organization: Roads and Traffic Authority

We have a number of Tektronix 4109 terminals for sale.  These are 19"
colour RS-232 graphics terminals, 640x480 physical resolution
(4096x4096 addressable resolution).  Built in VT-100 and VT-52
emulation as well as Tek graphics modes. (No they won't do X-windows.) 
Most include Tektronix 4957 graphics tablets (11"x11" digitiser) with
4-button pucks.   

There are also two Tektronix 4695 inkjet printers, which attach to the
terminals.

We have about 18 terminals immediately available but there are up to 40
in total (some are still out in country offices).  There are also a
couple of 4207 (15") terminals.

We are open to any offers. 

We also have a lot of other stuff: character terminals including Ampex
219 (several emulations including VT-100), a couple of real VT-100s,
approximately 8 Esprit 6310, 7 Visual 102, a couple of Visual 550,
about 10 Tab 132, 2 Hazeltine 1520 etc.  Some dot matrix printers
(probably all busted); one HP9872A plotter, one Calcomp1037 plotter. 

The Tektronix equipment is in good condition, the others are variable; 
some are just junk.

If interested, email, fax or phone.
    

Russell.

  I recently picked up a vt52 terminal and am having some troubles with it.
It says DIGITAL DataScope on it and has a thermal printer on the right hand
side. A on/off switch on the right hand side under the printer and a
sliding
bar in the back right of the machine.
  When I turn on the on switch I get nothing. I move the sliding bar and
still
nothing...
   Is there something I am missing or do you think the machine is dead.
 I can hear a high pitched wining (from the machine not me) when I turn it
on...
    Thanks,
     -Jeff

Hello netters!

I've just become the proud owner of two HP 720 workstations.  As a
total neophyte system manager, I'm still in the process of setting them up
properly.  Right now I've got a small problem with the switch from
vt100 to tektronix terminal mode.  Our programs are relativley simple:
data is normally entered in vt100 mode, but occasionally, the output 
comes not as strings of numbers, but as a contour plot set up for tektronix
screens.  We use a plotting package -- common in the astronomy business --
called MONGO.  MONGO automatically generates the signals (what are they?) to
switch from vt100 to TEK mode.  My Macintosh terminal emulator (Versaterm PRO)
handles this fine.  But I cannot figure out how to open windows on the UNIX
workstation using X11 commands which will *automatically* toggle back and
forth between vt100 and tek mode as appropriate. 

Does anyone out there have hints as to how I could make this happen?  Or even
how to force a vt100 window into becoming a tektronics window for a 
short while?

Many thanks for whatever help or ideas anyone has about this.

I have a televideo 910 terminal that I'm using to connect to several
differnet UNIX boxes here at UNL.  There is a terminfo entry for a 
televideo 912 terminal and it works fairly well except when inserting
characters or lines in the vi editor.  The insertion works but I do not
see the changes until I page forward and then page backward.  There is
no refresh screen command, that I can find, ctrl-L does not work.  Also
the same thing happens when I try to delete lines.  Does anyone have
any suggestions?

Perhaps I am missing the intent. As I understand it, the intent is to
check the "type" of a given variable or symbol. If this is true why not
just use the "type()" function? It is listed on page 2-10 (at the bottom
of the table) of the Edge Skill Manual. There is no other documentation
on it - and no examples. If this is what you want try playing with it.

aa=list(1 2 3)
bb="1 2 3"

type(aa) --> list
type(car(aa) --> fixnum
type(bb) --> string

In Edge, if you want to see anything on the screen that is done in a
skill program you need to use refresh() after each command. So in your
case your code would be:

     foreach(i insts
        if( <some criteria> then
	   add(l_coord_pair)
	   refresh()
        )
     )

We get around this problem by always starting Edge from a sunview shelltool
running in OpenWindows.  You have to be sure to leave your cursor in the
shelltool window until the Cadence session starts.  This seems to keep the
keyboard mapping from getting screwed up.  We also customized a shelltool
window using tooltool to add buttons for selecting the key(s) to be used.

If you are running OpenWindows in the SunView compatibility mode, you can run
overview (or any other SunView program such as /bin/textedit).  Just type

   overview opencds

You don't actually need OpenWindows (we use Motif), but you do need to run the
"xnews" server which comes with OpenWindows, not "Xsun" from MIT.  You also
need to run the command "svenv" in your .xinitrc file (see the man page on this
for details), eg:

   eval `svenv -env`

WARNING:

Due to a bug in OpenWindows, the FIRST time you go into Edge the keyboard
mapping is all wrong.  The workaround for this is to press "Undo" - this acts
like CTRL-Z and gets you out.  The second time you enter Edge you are all right.
(We edited a copy of /usr/share/src/sun/sunview1/overview.c to get round this.)

I am trying to run Cadence from open-windows, but when I exit
from Cadence the mouse is reinitialized and the screen colours 
are re-mapped. Has anyone had any luck with this?

Under SunView, the `overview' command would allow proper recovery.
Is there an analog for X or Open-windows?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,

Not very long ago, there was some discussion about incompatibilities between 
OpenWindows 3.0 and Cadence software.
Silly me, I didn't keep a copy of the postings, could please someone  mail/post
a summary.

Thanks a lot

ZP

I don't know why you would want to define such a function.
In anycase, why not use a macro, that's what they're there for!

(mprocedure PsvCheckType(args)
        (list (list 'lambda (cons 'var (cddr args)) t) (cadr args))
)

apply('PsvCheckType '(PsvCheckType x "l"))
=> ((lambda (var "l") t) x)

This way, there's no named function to be re-defined.
