Pitre__ __ __ I think that most people _are_ quite satisfied with it. Oh, I'm sure that each of us has our own little ideas of how it could be "improved", but the thing about it is that it is not "finished". Bob seems to continue to make additions and upgrades. I must admit that I have only scratched the surface of what it can do. As a matter of fact, I had the coco version originally and am now discovering features with the OSK version that it had, too, but my reluctance to dig and research had failed to uncover. -- David Breeding -- CompuServe : 72330,2051 Delphi : DBREEDING *** Composed with InfoXpress/OSK Vr. 1.02 & VED Vr. 2.4.0 *** #: 21220 S6/Applications 14-Oct-95 14:33:21 Sb: #Terminfo update?? Fm: David Breeding 72330,2051 To: Ken Scales 74646,2237 Ken, I have been playing around with "SC" under G-Windows on my Delmar System 5. It seems that several of the display features, as well as the arrow keys are not quite right for my system. It _does_ seem that all is well under the "vga" TERM screen, as far as I have tested. I would assume that there is a discrepancy between the "vt100" file I have with the "sc" program and my termcap file. I tried to find the two files ("captoinfo" and "tic") here and on Delphi, but have not been able to find them. I assume that "captoinfo" reads a termcap file and creates a termINFO file, and "tic" no doubt creates the binary files as supplied in the "trminfo" files. If possible, I would like to get hold of these utilities in order to recompile the file(s) hoping to get my vt100 screens to working better. -- David Breeding -- CompuServe : 72330,2051 Delphi : DBREEDING *** Composed with InfoXpress/OSK Vr. 1.02 & VED Vr. 2.4.0 *** There is 1 Reply. #: 21221 S6/Applications 15-Oct-95 12:10:14 Sb: #21220-Terminfo update?? Fm: Pete Lyall 76703,4230 To: David Breeding 72330,2051 (X) David - Your assumptions are correct... tic is 'term-info compiler'. You should be able to do this on any SysV.4 box (or variants). If you know anyone who runs LINUX, both tools are available there as well (a great, FREE unix for PC's). Should you run out of other options, I have a LINUX box here, but will be out of town most of the week. Worst case, you could mail me the file, I'll effect the conversions, and return mail you the result.

Especially the multipak, the Disto Super controller, the sound card (the RS one??) and any software you may have. Do you still have any of this around?

I'm up running on my MVME162LX and so far so good. I do have some problems in accessing off-board memory with OS-9. The MVME162Bug is able to access this memory but ROMBug only gives me a bus error. Do you have any experience with off-board memory ? Secondly, I'm was trying to set up my serial ports to run at 38400 Baud, but OS-9 doesn't let me do that. Have you tried 38400 ?

I don't have any problem with my MVME162LX's. It can only be rombug(or sysinit) that sets up the MVMEchip2 master decoders wrong ?? Do you have the programming-manuals for the MVME162LX, so you could check this. I think the ports can only run 19200 BAUD with the clock supplied to the 85230-chip. In fact if you run the port from MVME162Bug in the eprom-socket, then it is only safe to run 9600 BAUD, because of the eprom is only 8-bit wide !! regards ole@danelec.dk Press !>
