Getting Started using Qmodem and Newkey to emulate a VT100 terminal:
Newkey is used to generate the escape sequences from the PC keyboard
that the PCI 1076 expects from a VT100 terminal. This includes but is
not limited to the cursor control keys, which are required to generate
characters to the PCI to cause cursor movement. The file which is used
to save the keyboard macroes is "QMODEM.PCI" and is automatically
loaded from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file at system reset and IPL.
VT100 emulation works with Qmodem through invoking the ANSI Graphics
feature. This feature allows for ANSI 3.64 extended screen control
through PC-DOS. This capability will only work if the system is reset
or IPL'ed with the ANSI.SYS file and a CONFIG.SYS file which contains a
statement DEVICE=ANSI.SYS.
Once Qmodem is active (past two initial screens) a menu of Qmodem
commands can be invoked with CTRL-Home. This sequence and the Qmodem
menu have been modified to overlay the 3270 key functions on the
Qmodem command keys.
Once you are into Qmodem (past the conscience wear & loading screens),
hit Alt-G to invoke ANSI Graphics mode, then Alt-D to invoke Dialing.
Select the number for your local PCI 1076 and have Qmodem Auto-Dial it.
Remember that the PCI requires an initial carriage return to start
(speed detect). At this point you should logon normally.
Follow the directions on the Qmodem Help window to use Qmodem features
(You will find these quite extensive beyond the basic VT100 terminal).
Exiting Qmodem and running NEWKEY1 will provide a menu of assist options
to the keyboard macro generator. Basic 3270 setup on PC keyboard at
distribution is as follows:

Newkey documentation is included. If you desire to modify the keyboard
layout and function this program will allow you that liberty.
DOWNLOADING
Ctrl-PgDn will invoke the Qmodem down load feature. Use PF5 to assign
the logical printer to your device; initiate host print to your assigned
printer; use Ctrl-PgDn to select download to disk; ASCII option. Edit
will be required later to remove ANSI control chars from dataset.
UPLOADING
This is no fun and works very slow if at all with the IBM (perhaps it
may be more successful on a VAX/DEC). You must be in native TSO mode
on the host, into EDIT-input mode. Seems to work better if you enter
edit with NOPROMPT in your profile, and LINE(90) NONUM at Edit
command. Qmodem allows for variable pause length on upload. This must
be adjusted to compensate for the delay from your host system. (WARNING-
host delay is variable, depending on multiple loading factors on your
host system). Please - if you have a satisfactory experience with
uploading, call me and let me know a better way to accomplish this.
GENERAL UP/DOWN
Various source code is available on the Public BBS for XMODEM protocol
implementation on VAX. I have used this error detect/correct protocol
for multi-megabits of file transfer, without errors in the final product
and at times over very noisy lines. I would love to implement this on
a Mini/Mainframe and on the IBM for good file transfer through a
protocol converter......watch for this at a future date.
HAVE FUN!!! GOOD LUCK!!! DON'T FORGET TO PAY THE AUTHORS!!! (DVT 714-863-5913)
