I've just had success with KERMIT use with my own IBM monster mainframe
where the network hackers installed KERMIT and I've been tweeking it
into standards. U.S. Customs is a fun place to work.
Check out the ZMNUCOLR.T - I had a lot of fun figuring out how to do
that.
On color attributes in lput and type commands:
You must use the "1" highlight character in Esc[n;nm ANSI strings
in order to obtain highlighted colors (bright). Otherwise, ZCOMM
display driver shows low-intensity colors. Place the "1" last.
Author's background:
Retired USAF reservist, former technical school instructor for USAF/USMC
combined Computer Sciences School at Quantico, VA, also stationed at the
Pentagon (in a window-less office for 4 years). Currently a contractor
for US Customs Service as an IBM mainframe operating systems systems
programmer/engineer.
I have some talent for creating user-friendly interfaces to all sorts of
powerful but quirky software. ZCOMM and YAM fit into this category, as
they have a wealth of features but they don't advertise them. Looking
over the YAM manual for the 37th time, I've found that every CONCEIVABLE
processing option has its own numeric or string parameter, and that
ZCOMM and YAM can be persuaded to handle almost ANY operating
environment. The author of these fine communications software products
is an obvious genius, who just needs some supporters to put on a more
"commercial" face to the software.
Commercialism is not my object in my support of ZCOMM/YAM, as I use them
daily and admire their strengths [and occasionally damn their quirks -
that I later find documentation for in researching why a particular
situation happened]. I support and promote good software, and my
recommendations I provide sparingly, as my professional reputation
becomes associated with products I recommend.
I recommend Omen Technology products.
