I have to agree. VED is one of the best editors I've used, and is by far the
|
||
|
|
best OS-9 editor out there, in my opinion.

I think that most people _are_ quite satisfied with it. Oh, I'm sure that each
|
||
|
|
of us has our own little ideas of how it could be "improved", but the thing
|
||
|
|
about it is that it is not "finished". Bob seems to continue to make additions
|
||
|
|
and upgrades.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I must admit that I have only scratched the surface of what it can do. As a
|
||
|
|
matter of fact, I had the coco version originally and am now discovering
|
||
|
|
features with the OSK version that it had, too, but my reluctance to dig and
|
||
|
|
research had failed to uncover.

Ken,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have been playing around with "SC" under G-Windows on my Delmar System 5. It
|
||
|
|
seems that several of the display features, as well as the arrow keys are not
|
||
|
|
quite right for my system. It _does_ seem that all is well under the "vga"
|
||
|
|
TERM screen, as far as I have tested.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I would assume that there is a discrepancy between the "vt100" file I have with
|
||
|
|
the "sc" program and my termcap file. I tried to find the two files
|
||
|
|
("captoinfo" and "tic") here and on Delphi, but have not been able to find
|
||
|
|
them. I assume that "captoinfo" reads a termcap file and creates a termINFO
|
||
|
|
file, and "tic" no doubt creates the binary files as supplied in the "trminfo"
|
||
|
|
files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If possible, I would like to get hold of these utilities in order to recompile
|
||
|
|
the file(s) hoping to get my vt100 screens to working better.

David -

Your assumptions are correct... tic is 'term-info compiler'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should be able to do this on any SysV.4 box (or variants).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you know anyone who runs LINUX, both tools are available there as well (a
|
||
|
|
great, FREE unix for PC's).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Should you run out of other options, I have a LINUX box here, but will be out
|
||
|
|
of town most of the week. Worst case, you could mail me the file, I'll effect
|
||
|
|
the conversions, and return mail you the result.

I would be interested in your Coco stuff. Especially the multipak, the Disto
|
||
|
|
Super controller, the sound card (the RS one??) and any software you may have.
|
||
|
|
|

Do you still have any of this around?

Dear Jost;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thanks for your reply. I'm up running on my MVME162LX and so far so good. I
|
||
|
|
do have some problems in accessing off-board memory with OS-9. The MVME162Bug
|
||
|
|
is able to access this memory but ROMBug only gives me a bus error. Do you
|
||
|
|
have any experience with off-board memory ?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Secondly, I'm was trying to set up my serial ports to run at 38400 Baud, but
|
||
|
|
OS-9 doesn't let me do that. Have you tried 38400 ?
|
||
|
|
|

Hello Manfred
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Which memory-address are you trying to access from rombug, that gives you
|
||
|
|
bus-error ?? I don't have any problem with my MVME162LX's. It can only be
|
||
|
|
rombug(or sysinit) that sets up the MVMEchip2 master decoders wrong ?? Do you
|
||
|
|
have the programming-manuals for the MVME162LX, so you could check this. I
|
||
|
|
think the ports can only run 19200 BAUD with the clock supplied to the
|
||
|
|
85230-chip. In fact if you run the port from MVME162Bug in the eprom-socket,
|
||
|
|
then it is only safe to run 9600 BAUD, because of the eprom is only 8-bit wide
|
