vttest.1 |
NOTES FROM THE MOD.SOURCES MODERATOR: I split the source up into the three separate pieces it now is. In doing this, I put lines like "int reading;" in a header file that both C modules include. If your Unix requires one of these to be "extern int reading;" then you will have some editing to do. Also note that this program uses FIONREAD, which must be implemented differently in SystemV, etc., and check out the setjmp() call... /Rich $alz Oh, yeah: I also wrote the Makefile and manpage, such as they are. ------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a program to test the compatibility (or to demonstrate the non-compatibility) of so-called "VT100-compatible" terminals. In conformance of the good old hacker traditions, the only documentation of this program is the source code itself. To understand it, you also need a copy of the original VT100 manual from DEC. Comments and bug reports: Since this is a release (via USENET) to the whole world, a lot of people are going to have opinions and fresh ideas about it. (What -- bugs in MY program? Aww...) I can't deal with everyone sending me a hacked version, but if you have found a serious bug, or ported it to VMS, do tell me. I can't promise any new version release, though. From this version on (1.7b) VTTEST will have to live its own life without its father holding its hand. My adress is: Network-mail adress: (mcvax,seismo)!enea!suadb!lindberg Real-world-mail address: Per Lindberg QZ, Stockholm University Computing Center Box 27322 S - 102 54 Stockholm SWEDEN The original version of this program is written for the Sargasso C compiler for the DECsystem-10. Many thanks to all sales persons with quote VT100-compatible unquote terminals, who prompted me to write this program, and also to: -- Bo Kleve, LIDAC, Linkoping University, Sweden for the portation to DECSYSTEM-20 with the Sargasso C compiler -- Johan Widen, TTDS, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden for the portation to various UNIX systems (incl. System III and Xenix) -- Russ Herman, AES Data Inc., Missisauga, Ont. Canada for fixes and code for the VT102 test Thanx also to JMR "Gremlin" at KTH, and Goran Wallberg at QZ for suggestions, bug fixes, etc. This program does not have support for all the different variations of VT100, like VT125, VT131 nor the new VT200 series. Feel free to add that yourself. Happy Hacking! /TMP
