|
|
|
UTCAT is the University of Texas at Austin General Libraries Online
|
|
Catalog. You can use UTCAT from most personal computers, using a
|
|
modem and communications software to emulate any of several common
|
|
terminals. There is no charge for this access and you do not need a
|
|
password.
|
|
|
|
Two communications programs, KERMIT (for IBM PCs and
|
|
compatibles) and MacKERMIT (for the Macintosh), are available
|
|
from and supported by the Computation Center. To get a copy of
|
|
KERMIT or MacKERMIT, bring a diskette to the Center's
|
|
Microcomputer Laboratory in FAC 29.
|
|
|
|
1. Start your
|
|
communications program, even parity 7 data bits
|
|
using these settings: 1 stop bit full duplex
|
|
|
|
(For KERMIT: Type "kermit" and press the <Return> key. Type
|
|
"set baud" and the baud rate you will use, and press <Return>.
|
|
Then type "connect" and press <Return>.
|
|
|
|
For MacKERMIT: Double-click the MacKermit icon. Pull it down
|
|
to the Macintosh "Settings" menu and choose the "Communications"
|
|
option. Set the baud rate, and set the parity to even. Then
|
|
click the OK box.)
|
|
|
|
2. Dial one of these numbers: (512) 471-9400 300 to 1200 baud
|
|
(512) 471-9420 2400 baud modems
|
|
|
|
(If your microcomputer is directly connected to the Computation
|
|
Center's MICOM system you do not need to dial.)
|
|
|
|
3. After connection is made:
|
|
|
|
* Press the <RETURN> key
|
|
|
|
* When you see the prompt: CLASS=, type UTCAT and press
|
|
<RETURN>
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When you see the prompt: GO , press <RETURN> until you see
|
|
the prompt: ENTER TERMINAL TYPE:
|
|
|
|
* Enter the appropriate type for the terminal your software is
|
|
emulating using the following chart, and press <RETURN>
|
|
|
|
(Note, for best on-screen results, experiment
|
|
with any terminal type your software allows)
|
|
|
|
* When you see the UT tower logo, type UTCAT and press <RETURN>
|
|
|
|
* You will then see the option screen, offering the Online
|
|
Catalog as well as other administrative information systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using UTCAT with Personal Computers
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions on the option screen.
|
|
|
|
* To print a screen or save a screen to disk, use the
|
|
appropriate commands for your microcomputer and its software.
|
|
Printing and saving must be done one screen at a time.
|
|
|
|
Keyboard equivalents
|
|
|
|
The UTCAT software is written for the TELEX terminals and uses
|
|
certain keys that may not exist or may not work on your
|
|
microcomputer keyboard. Use the chart below, according to the
|
|
type of terminal your software is emulating.
|
|
|
|
To erase typing errors, backspace over the mistake, then use
|
|
ERASE EOF to remove characters to remove characters beyond the
|
|
cursor. To backspace on a Macintosh, hold down the cloverleaf
|
|
key while you type H. On other keyboards, use the backarrow key
|
|
to backspace or, if there is no backarrow, use CTRL-H.

Using UTCAT with Personal Computers
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
1. A slash (/) between characters denotes separate key strokes.
|
|
For example, ESC/4 means to press the ESC (escape) key
|
|
followed by a 4. If there is no slash hold down the first
|
|
key while you press the second. For Macintosh keyboards
|
|
without an ESCAPE key, use the tilde (~) key.
|
|
|
|
2. For an IBM PC running KERMIT version 2.29 or newer, the
|
|
terminal type is MAC. For KERMIT versions 2.28 and older,
|
|
use terminal type VT52.
|
|
|
|
3. For and IBM 3101 use the <-| enter key until the UT tower
|
|
logo appears; thereafter use <-, for a PC with 3101
|
|
emulation, use <- until the UT tower appears; thereafter use
|
|
<-|.
|
|
4. For ROLM 3270 Cedar use ERASE EOF; for 3270 Cypress use
|
|
DELETE FIELD; and for 3270 Juniper use CTRL END.
|
|
|
|
