Using UTCAT with Personal Computers
Usage Notes: IS04 19 December 1988
Computation Center (512/471-3241) User Services Division
The University of Texas at Austin Information Services
_____________________________________________________________________
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>
Page 1
* 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.
HOURS
UTCAT is generally available Sunday-Friday from 6am to 2am and
Saturday from 6am to midnight. For holiday and intersession hours,
or maintenance interruptions, see the NEWs screen.
