Colin, since today's meeting of the MECCO OS-9 group has been cancelled,
|
|
I thought I would leave you a message here. Also, to post progress for
|
|
OSTerm 68K customers out there waiting for their updates...
|
|
|
|
Last night I got the necessary enhancements in for the VT100 emulation so
|
|
that it now properly handles Emacs (with multiple buffers on screen) from
|
|
a HP-Unix host, as well as Vi. (Brian Marcotte's "vt100" program
|
|
will also handle Emacs, but can't quite deal with Vi.) This should bring
|
|
the level of emulation supported from "basic" to fairly general, though
|
|
it still won't support different character sets/sizes, 132 column mode,
|
|
and some of the other less-used functions. But it now should cover
|
|
all the main requirements most users will require. (It's better than the
|
|
version of "screen" I have running on the Unix box... Guess I need to
|
|
get a new version of that installed.)
|
|
|
|
So, this just leaves one major item on our checklist for OSTerm V2.1.
|
|
|
|
Cheers... / Ken

Good stuff, Ken!
|
|
|
|
So that brings emulation modes to:
|
|
|
|
TTY
|
|
ANSI (Colours, characters and screen positioning codes)
|
|
VT100
|
|
Compuserve
|
|
Binary (All characters captured to a buffer, screen-safe ones go to the
|
|
screen)
|
|
and CC3/K-Windows.
|
|
|
|
And since external protocols, such as Z-Modem, and Kermit are also
|
|
already supported, that only leaves one more item, CIS-B protocol.
|
|
|
|
TTYL. Colin.

Umm... well, what we used to describe as "CompuServe" mode is now moved
|
|
to "Terminal Options", and appears as "7-bit mask". This allows the
|
|
masking to be used with the various emulation modes, if desired. Guess
|
|
that means the manual will need to be updated again <ducking...>
|
|

|

|
|
Don't forget the Prompted ASCII transfer mode...
|
|
|
|
At this stage, I am tempted to suggest that we freeze it withOUT CIS-B
|
|
protocol (which was always considered only a "WBN" (Would Be Nice) for
|
|
this release), and distribute it. We've made so many little changes and
|
|
enhancements that I'm beginning to have trouble remembering them.

Good luck with getting UUCP up and running.
|
|
|
|
I've got mine up and running pretty cleanly now. It compiled first time
|
|
on my MM/1.
|
|
|
|
Only found one problem, and almost have that tracked down in the source.
|
|
Mailx does not seem to like one-line messages. Other than that, I
|
|
haven't had any real problems with the package.
|
|
|
|
It is the best documented one I've seen so far for OS-9/OSK.
|
|
|
|
TTYL. Colin.

Colin,
|
|
I finally got linked up to our local UNIX Internet host. However
|
|
we need to spend time on my setup. I just recompiled it with the bug
|
|
fixes in UUBB20.BUG that was sent out on the OCN net. Took 35 min.

Hi, Warren.
|
|
|
|
I think pollremote was referring to your system.
|
|
|
|
On my setup, the uucp files go in:
|
|
|
|
/dd/usr/postmaster
|
|
cmckay
|
|
spool/files
|
|
incoming
|
|
news
|
|
uucp/uuisis
|
|
uucppublic
|
|
|
|
uuisis is the system I call to get my mail from.
|
|
cmckay and postmaster are accounts on my system, and also appear in the
|
|
/dd/sys/password file.
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps. TTYL. Colin.

Colin,
|
|
Yes I was fortunent to have Boisy log on and chatted with him about
|
|
it. I made up a dir for the system I call like yours uuisis, mine is
|
|
jadpc. Now I can log on as postmaster and que up a file for jadpc and
|
|
send it ok. But I am still missing a few dirs and/or files. My local
|
|
guru will help me get the rest setup I am sure. But I am having a very
|
|
strange thing happen when I do a 'tsmon /t0&'. I do that and all goes
|
|
well, I have the correct modem strings, in fact same as used for RiBBSs.
|
|
But after the first call to the modem and login it refuses to answer
|
|
another call until the next day ! I must be missing a profile or
|
|
something in the .login , .logout files. I have those and they work ok
|
|
but still wont accept a second or any more calls. I even reboot, reset
|
|
the modem and still wont accept a call. If I deiniz the port and reset
|
|
the modem by itself it will accept and answer (send tone) but if tsmon
|
|
is on it wont send tone. Any help apprecieated. I know it is not the
|
|
modem as I duplicated the whole thing with my ZyXEL modem.
|
|
BTW isn't there supposed to be a login log somewhere ?

How is it that the clock in the MM/1 was able to do its own time change to
|
|
daylight savings time??? Last fall I thought I was imangining this, so this
|
|
time I remembered to double check it first.
