VT320 TERMINAL EMULATION FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS
==============================================
REFLECTION(R) 2
---------------
Figure R2WIN1B.tif
Use the button palette in Reflection 2 for windows to create
your own buttons and lable them with text and images.
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
Users of Microsoft Windows will appreciate Reflection 2 for
Windows. This precise VT320 emulator includes familiar
features such as pull-down menus, dialog boxes, and fully
integrated on-line help. Because Reflection uses the
Microsoft graphical user interface, training time is
minimized, while the memory management and simplified
operations of Windows increase efficiency.
Installation is easy, too. Reflection 2 installs directly
from Windows and runs in standard or enhanced mode.
Reflection 2 runs any application written for Digital+s
VT320, VT220, and VT102 terminals, and connects with Digital
VAX or UNIX-based hosts. Reflection faithfully emulates
standard terminal features, including double-high, double-
wide characters and VT character sets.
SPECIAL FEATURES
Special features, such as resizable windows and color
customization, are standard with Reflection. Fonts rescale
proportionately when you resize a window, so all text
remains in view. Choose colors for text and background and
host attributes, and select an 80- or 132-column display.
You can also save your settings for future use.
MULTITASKING
By providing access to host and Windows applications at the
same time, Reflection 2 can dramatically increase
productivity. Copy and paste blocks of text between host and
local applications, or use DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) to
pass information automatically. You can transfer large files
while you work on an application in another window. With
network or multiple serial connections to the host, you can
run multiple sessions simultaneously, viewing each in a
separate window.
FILE TRANSFER
Reflection offers exceptional file transfer capabilities,
including drag-and-drop file transfer with a display of host
and PC file directories. Send files, error-free, in ASCII,
binary, or image format over serial or network connections.
You can even specify VMS file parameters during PC file
uploads, so the new VMS file will conform to host
application requirements. You can also transfer groups of
files quickly using wildcard characters, or by highlighting
multiple file names. File transfer over LAT is especially
fast. In addition, Reflection includes a variety of
predefined settings that allow you to configure your
environment in one simple operation. Host file transfer
programs are included at no charge and are easily uploaded
from your PC. Kermit and XMODEM support are also provided.
KEYBOARD MAPPING
Reflection+s KEYMAP command makes it easy to map commands
and other operations to a keystroke or key combination. Map
keys to host commands, terminal functions, Reflection
command language commands and command files, menu commands,
and character strings. You can also map a key using its scan
code. To review a list of all your mapped keys, use the
KEYMAP CHANGED command.
DDE SUPPORT
Support for DDE, integrated into Reflection+s command
language, allows you to exchange data dynamically between
the host, Reflection, and other DDE-compliant Windows
applications. Using DDE, you can program Reflection to read
information from the host and automatically import it into
another Windows application. Reflection can be set up to
function as either a DDE client or a DDE server.

Update PC applications with host data using DDE.
BUTTON PALETTE
Reflection+s button palette lets you create your own buttons
to simplify operations. There are up to 40 user-definable
buttons, which you can label with text and images. Several
bit-mapped images are provided, or you can make your own.
Design unique palettes for use with different copies of
Reflection and "float" the palette anywhere on the Windows
desktop. Create as many palettes as you wish. A number of
predefined palettes are included for common routines, such
as sending and receiving files, dialing a modem, designating
a particular color configuration, and more. Buttons can be
linked to macros or command files, or they can be configured
to allow execution by host applications.
COMMAND LANGUAGE
Reflection+s powerful script language lets you write command
files that speed you through logins, file transfers, or
other tasks. You can even create custom dialog boxes.
Execute or edit single commands or entire command files in
Reflection+s Command Window.
A script recorder makes creating command files almost
effortless. When recording is active, Reflection captures
the prompts sent to and from the host and records all the
commands you enter from the keyboard. Recorded scripts can
be edited, saved to a command file, or attached to a button
on the button palette for future use.
PRINT MANAGEMENT
Use a Reflection dialog box to direct printing to an
assigned printer or a disk file. Bypass the Windows Print
Manager, if desired, to let host applications control and
format printing, or select an option that instructs the
printer to use the host character set.
ON-LINE HELP
Reflection+s on-line help provides assistance on every menu,
dialog box item, terminal field, and command. The Help
window supports standard browsing, searching, annotating,
and bookmarking capabilities. You can also copy and paste
syntax examples from Help directly into the Command Window
to speed the creation of script files. The Windows 3.1
interface is used, even for those running Windows 3.0.
INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
Set up Reflection to use national replacement or
multinational character sets. Choose from options in the
Windows Control Panel for country, language, keyboard
layout, and system of measurement. Keymapping from scan
codes is supported, too. A compose key is also included that
lets you create special characters.
FLEXIBLE CONNECTIONS
Reflection 2 delivers the same reliable terminal emulation
and file transfer over popular local and wide area networks,
including those from Novell, 3Com, Ungermann-Bass, and most
TCP/IP vendors. CTERM, NetWare for VMS, NASI, and Eicon
connections are also supported. Reflection 2 lets you make
multiple host connections within one copy of Reflection,
using one or more instances of Reflection. You can establish
up to 16 new connections, and modify, suspend, and close
connections, using the Connection menu. Reflection+s modem
dialer lets you store telephone numbers for easy connections
to various hosts.
Add the Reflection Network Series (sold separately) to run
multiple host sessions with concurrent access to LAN
services. The Reflection Network Series allows PCs to run
multiple protocols on a single network interface card, and
to switch between sessions and server applications without
rebooting. Options are available to link PCs to Digital VAX,
UNIX, and HP 3000 hosts, as well as IBM mainframes with
access to TCP/IP. Novell and other popular LANs are
supported. Reflection 2 also works with Digital+s Pathworks.
PPL FOR WINDOWS
Run-time support for PPL (Process-to-Process Link) is
included in Reflection 2 for Windows. The support is
provided to assist developers who use the Reflection for
Windows Software Developers Kit (sold separately) to write
client/server applications. The kit includes documentation,
on-line help, and sample applications. PPL provides DLL
(dynamic link library) interfaces to file transfer and PC-
host message exchange.
With support for DOS, Windows, and Macintosh platforms and
products to link personal computers with Digital VAX, UNIX,
HP, and IBM hosts, WRQ is the only software vendor to
provide such a range of connectivity choices.
