I think this really depends on the piece of equipment in question.
I wouldn't leave my car running because I know I can depend on it
to start up time after time.

You must not have any WYSE terminals.  I own three WYSE-60s and two of 
them blew a power supply when I turned them on.  The third one hasn't 
blown yet because I rarely turn it off..  (When I leave town, etc...)  
I've seen many more WYSEs with this problem.  WYSE power supplies are 
notorious for being poorly designed and not able to deal with a lot of 
stress.  I don't think the problem is due to expension either.  I believe
the problem with WYSE supplies is that their designs are too close to 
the tolerances of some of their parts.  (The turn-on transients excede
some of the specs and gradually wear some the parts down.)

I have seen a couple of requests for this, so I'll post my response:
You can FTP the list from cajal.uoregon.edu. The file if in \pub, and
is called vt100.escape.codes. There is also a compressed version,
vt100.escape.codes.Z, if you have access to the Unix uncompress program.

KERMIT can emulate Tek 4010 and DEC VT100, VT220, VT320 (at least
version 3.11 which I use just now to write this message).
And it at least can be tried free, get it (e.g. by FTP) and read

Help Me,
  I have a wyse50+ terminal.  I am running a program that is based on curses.
No matter what wyse terminal emulation I set my TERM variable to, I get a 
"magic cookie" whenever I try to go into standout mode to highlight in
reverse video.  If I do not use reverse video everything looks fine except
I can't see my cursor.

I tried making a terminfo entry and added "xmc#1" for the number of spaces that
the terminal makes whenever it goes to highlight something.  This turns all 
characters into chinese characters!  

Has anyone every had any success running curses programs and using wyse50+
terminals?  If you have a wyse50 terminal entry that does both reverse video
and arrow keys it would be great.  Using wyse150ak does give me arrow keys
but I still get the reverse video standout glitch.

I am running on SCO UNIX 3.2.4.  Please respond via email as I hardly ever
read this news group.

Hi,

I have to connect a Bull Questar 210 and some Tandbergs 2231 to a Bull
DPX/2. The Questar speaks "VIP7200"  or "SDP", the  Tandberg some sort
of  extended VIP7200. The documentation is  sparse,  in fact,  for the
Tandberg, there's none at all.

Although  I  already found out  most important  sequences  via reverse

My appologies if this is a FAQ, I've just joined this group.

My development projects often have aa lot to do with the details of terminal
emulation, in particular VT102 and ANSI.  It would be GREAT to have an
autoritative specification of exactly how a real VT102 or Ansi x3.64 terminal
aare supposed to behave.

Can anyone point me to an electronic version of either, or failing that a

Thanks in advance.

I've used a program called Conex which emulates 4014, and DEC (might be
only vt100 though, can't remember), also alows you to run multiple

-----------
	All accurate except for the very last point. Kermit use is always
free. Financial arrangements come into play when a Columbia Kermit becomes 
part of another product package offered for sale. The Kermit Project is
heavily dependent on such arrangments and on the sale of the user's books,
plus <too infrequent> donations. If corporations were to contribute a fraction
of the cost otherwise spent on a commerical product we could do much more,
and faster too, and buyers would still enjoy the benefits of a commercial 
grade product with Tech Support and a professionally done user's manual 
(Digital Press and Prentice Hall does the publishing).

I recently aquired a WYSE 350, color terminal sans documentation.  It appears
to be a color version of a WYSE 50 which I also have with pityful documentation.
Other than the colors the display generically has can the colors be changed,
and is there a way to have it display output in color aother than the orange 
status line and yellow text?
This terminal is connected to a SUN 4/XXX, we currently have it emulating an

I have a question regarding terminals. I have noticed that most
terminals are always left on around the clock. I want to
know if this is in fact better for the terminals, instead of
turning them on and off every time they are used. By better,
I mean for them to last longer.

The terminals I am talking about all have automatic blank
out feature. So leaving them on would not leave burn on the
screen.

Please advise.

To my knowledge, Cadence does not offer any hardware accelerators.

The companies you probably want to talk to are Ikos Systems, Inc., and
Zycad. Interfaces to Cadence may exist from these tools, or
can be easily implemented.

Our experience is with Ikos Systems simulators, although not yet from
the VHDL aspect. We've found the simulation accelerators to be a powerful
productivity enhancer for large gate-level and switch-level designs.

Ikos's present and future product offerings focus in software and 
hardware acceleration of VHDL, integrated with transistor and gate simulation.

For more information, a sales contact for Ikos systems in Massachusetts 
is Rod O'Reiily, at (603)-891-1130.

I've gone from GED to Composer. The biggest difference is in the way the
cells are stored. In GED, it was real nice to be able to store the
schematics in ASCII format. Then you could use standard UNIX text
processing tools (grep, awk, sed, C programs) to very quickly find out
information about cells in a library, or even to change cells from a Unix
shell or program.

In Composer, there is no way to get at any ASCII version of a schematic,
and also the cell's files are not in a predicatable place in the Unix file
system due to the checkin/checkout feature. However, the Skill language
gives you all the access you need to get information about a library of
cells, or to change the cells.

In the short term, it is easier to have ASCII access, in my opinion. But in
the long term, once you learn Skill and write the appropriate programs, I 
think the Skill language is a better approach.

I can't comment on library migration, since we sort of started from scratch
for our Composer libraries since they were different.
