Term II
version 1.0
(c) 1990,1991 - Eric GONTIER
NOTES.doc
Here are a few tips to use Term II :
o Term II needs Workbench 2.0x (or above) to run.
o Since Workbench 2.04 (Kickstart 37.74, Workbench 37.33),
the gadget toolkit allows the use to switch from one string
gadget to another with TAB and shift-TAB. Pretty handy !
o Term II is using the console device, so it is not possible
to use proportional fonts. No crashes to be afraid of, but
the Term II window could have a strange look with
proportional fonts.
o I like to use the courier font in 640x400, so I added a
console_font "courier.font" 11
in term.config
o With <Amiga-Left><V> and <Amiga-Left><B> it is possible to
answer requester without using the mouse.
o The XPR support is not completed (for example, there is no
support for environment variable to set the options, and
the auto-download feature of some protocol - like zmodem -
is not implemented). However, Term II recognize the command
xpr_init, which allows the user to initialise the external
protocol. For example, in term.config one can add :
xpr_open "xprxmodem.library"
xpr_init "T0,C1,K1"
This will force Term II to open the xprxmodem.library, and
to send it the "T0,C1,K1" init string (1K-CRC, sometimes
called Y-Modem). See the documentation of the XPR library
you are using for more informations on the init strings
recognized by the protocols.
o The string gadgets in the requesters to set XPR options
_NEED_ validation, either by RETURN (the common way) or by
TAB or shift-TAB (in Workbench version >= 2.04).
o There are not XPR libraries distributed with Term II, but
they can be found easily on good BBS, or on Fred Fish's
disks. I know the existence of the following libraries :
xprxmodem (XModem protocol, with block size of 128 or 1024
bytes, and with CRC or checksum), xprkermit (Kermit
protocol), xprascii (no protocol), xprzmodem (ZModem
protocol), xprquickb (Quick-B protocol, used on Compuserve)
and xprbbt (BBT protocol, used in France with minitels in
V23).
