ReadMe for UniTerm V2.0d 014 <-|
---------------------------- |
29.8.88 |This number is displayed on the
'About UniTerm...' dialog box and
indicates the "Edit Number"
Changes 2.0c to 2.0d
--------------------
General: Setup file format changed! (I'll see if I can kludge up
an utility to do the transformation, wont be as easy as
the last time).
30 user-programmable function keys:
<F1> - <F10>
<Shift> <F1> - <F10>
<Ctrl> <F1> - <F10>
The maximal length of the function keys is now 65 characters
instead of the old 68 characters (I hope this doesn't cause
to much trouble).
Nearly all the keys of the arrow key block can be reassigned
with the 'reassign' macro command, the special codes for the
keys are:
<Shift> <ClrHome> = -1;
<Shift> <UpArrow> = -2;
<Shift> <DnArrow> = -3;
<Shift> <LeftArrow> = -4;
<Shift> <RightArrow> = -5;
<Insert> = -6;
<Shift> <Insert> = -7;
<UnDo> = -8;
<Shift> <UnDo> = -9;
<Ctrl> <UnDo> = -10;
<Help> = -11;
<Shift> <Help> = -12;
<Ctrl> <Help> = -13;
(BTW, I never documented this, but <ClrHome> sends ESC[H
now everybody who wants to can assign <Help> to Scrolllock
(ugh))
Additional commands are:
ClearTextScreen = 64;
Exit = 65;
ExitImmdiatly = 66;
StartSLE = 67;
<Shift> <ClrHome> has ClearTextScreen as default binding.
Statusline: in the [Terminal 1] dialog, the statusline
can be configured to be totally off, normal
or hostwritable (VT3XX compatible).
Dialer: timeout now user setable, the strings Fail 1 and
Fail 2 are not used by the current implementation
of the dialer (but will be used in the upcoming
Shadow (tm) support). The first time you load an
old dialer setup file, the new fields will be filled
with garbage.
A '/' + one digit in the name field will set the
the speed of RS232 port BEFORE dialing the number
Baud
/0 19200
/1 9600
/2 4800
(/3 3600)
/4 2400
(/5 2000)
(/6 1800)
/7 1200
(/8 600)
/9 300
(the entrys in parantheses are not really supported in
UniTerm).
Avoid using characters after the first digit, as this
feature will probably be expanded to allow you to set
ALL RS232 parameters (the string would look something
like
/bdsf
b = baud, d = data-bits, s = stop-bits, f = flowcontrol
if you would like this feature, drop me message)
File replay: <Control> <C> aborts (was <A>)
ASCII send: <Control> <C> aborts (was <A>), any other key
calls the 'Help' screen.
Macro processor & dialer: pressing any key now causes the
'get' macro to terminate (the same procedure
is used by the dialer), the character is not
read! Main advantage:
<Control> <C> should cause the execution
of a macro file to stop straightaway.
Text terminal emulation:
ESC[0$- No statusline
ESC[1$- Indicator statusline
ESC[2$- Hostwritable statusline
ESC[0$} Enter main display
ESC[1$} Enter statusline
If the statusline is not set to 'hostwritable' entering the statusline
will cause no text to be displayed.
Nearly all commands of the text terminal emulation work in the status-
line, IMPORTANT changing attributes, modes and character sets effect
the main display aswell (like they do on a real VT3XX).
Commands that do not work:
Save and restore cursor (ESC8 ESC7)
Test pattern (ESC#8)
All DEC private mode set and reset commands (start with ESC[?)
Set scrolling region
(A number of commands are modified do that they do not move the cursor
out of the statusline, this is transparent for the user (in fact
you can run vttest in the statusline without all too wierd effects))
Changing the terminal type will leave the statusline, as will soft and
hard reset.
Functionkeys: the host programmable function keys are now mapped to
<Shift> <F1> - <F10>
<Ctrl> <F1> - <F5>
this is more how a real VT2XX works, so no flames please....
Graphics terminal:
left and right mouse button will now work in GIN mode, the character
they send is definable in the [Graphics] dialog.
Macro Processor & Terminal:
New macro command:
LOADFONT(index,filename)
index (integer) : which font to overload, currently defined values:
Index Font Size (B)
0 Special 8*16 2048
1 Special 8*8 1024
2 Normal 5*16 1280
3 Normal 5*8 640
4 Special 5*16 1280
5 Special 5*8 640
6 International 8*16 2048
7 International 8*8 1024
8 International 5*16 1280
9 International 5*8 640
10 Tek 6*11 1056
filename (string) : complete path to the UFT file
A UFT file is simply just the data part of a normal GEM (tm)
font file, CAUTION: no error checking is done! Do not try
to load a font of the wrong size !!!
I would to use fonts 6 to 9 for self-designed fonts.

Incremental change list:
========================
V2.0d 004
---------
All 30 F-Keys can be programmed from the host, the key numbers are:
<F1> = 47 <Shift><F1> = 17 <Ctrl><F1> = 29
<F2> = 48 <Shift><F2> = 18 <Ctrl><F2> = 31
<F3> = 49 <Shift><F3> = 19 <Ctrl><F3> = 32
<F4> = 50 <Shift><F4> = 20 <Ctrl><F4> = 33
<F5> = 51 <Shift><F5> = 21 <Ctrl><F5> = 34
<F6> = 53 <Shift><F6> = 23 <Ctrl><F6> = 59
<F7> = 54 <Shift><F7> = 24 <Ctrl><F7> = 61
<F8> = 55 <Shift><F8> = 25 <Ctrl><F8> = 62
<F9> = 56 <Shift><F9> = 26 <Ctrl><F9> = 63
<F10> = 58 <Shift><F10> = 28 <Ctrl><F10> = 64
Example:
ESC P1;1|17/21 54 65 73 74 ESC\
loads <Sh47ift><F1> with !Test
V2.0d 005
---------
Fixed a minor Kermit bug.
V2.0d 007
---------
Fixed a few errors in the resource file, plus a few minor cleanups.
V2.0d 008
---------
Fixed bug in the 'Terminal 1' dialog, which caused the status
of the printer in the 'Terminal 2' dialog to get mangled.
V2.0d 009
---------
Fixed a bug in the Kermit send-init packet, the length fields for
long packets were illegal if the length was smaller then 94.
V2.0d 011
