Hello Dick,
It's an old argument that you will never win. Look at any
software section in any store. How many DOS programs do you see?
Stores stock what sells. Companies just put their efforts to the
best market they can profit from. I'm not at all saying I
disagree with your thoughts. I myself am a dos person and even
tho I have windows on one of my machines, It runs mostly dos
programs. MPH Software is based on SALT and Telix for DOS. I just
bought 200 copies of TFD last week.

user: You are replying to All about "VT100 Emulation".

Write your reply.

assistant: In attempting to use Telix to access my local library's catalog
system, I an having a problem when using one element of that system.
The problem is, when a screen is displayed, anything that is normally
highlighted, is completely blank, ie there is no lettering, just the
background color.  If I move the curser up, the previous line comes
back into view and the new line goes blank.
The library help line tells me their system requires a pure VT100
emulation and that my problem is caused by Telix having the VT102
emulation (which I have Telix set for because that appears to be the
closest I can get with Telix).
I am using Telix 3.21.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.  Carl Cason, of Bothell, Washington

assistant: Terminate is at v5.00 now. :-)  As to Telix, It's straightforward, and
IT WORKS. :-)  I've used most terminals out there at one time or
another, and each has it's own foibles.  Telix, although it may not
look flashy, it gets the job done and is very stable.  I'd be using it
but since my fido mailer has its own terminal with it... <VBG>

assistant: Greetings, Carl. May your bowel movements be regular and without problem.
Install Linux... :-l
Minicom (Linux Telix clone) or plain telnet have perfect VT100 emulation.
But I have spent a fair ammount of time searching for VT100 emulators
(admittedly, focussing on WinNT/95), and I have to say that Telix (3.21 for
DOS) is /easily/ one of the best I've seen outside a UN*X-style platform.
(QVT is the best Windows one I've seen...that, or ZOC)
Mind you, when I did use 3.21 to access my ISP, I had no trouble with
highlighted menu options...?

user: You are replying to All about "VT100 Emulation".

Write your reply.

assistant: I am using Telix 3.21 (Dos).  When I try to access the catalog of my
local library, they recommend useage of VT100 emulation.  So, I set up
Telix for VT102 (closest it offers to VT100) and specify VT100 when
accessing the catalog.  The problem I have is that wherever the curser
is on the catalog screen, that line is blanked out.  If I move the
curser up a line, the previous line appears and the new line
disappears.
I called the help line at the library and they say their system
requires a pure VT100 and the problem is probably being caused by the
VT102 of Telix.
I have tried Ansi, which works well in some areas of the catalog
system, but not in others.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

assistant: On a particular BBS I call which runs WildCat 5.0, whenver I enter or

editor TFW goes into something called "doorway mode" which causes all
the text on the screen to become jumbled to the point where I have
difficulty figuring out what text I have entered and what has carried
over from a previous screen....
This doesn't happen on any of the TriBBS boards I call, only the one
which runs WildCat 5.  Is there any way to stop this from happening?
