What I am having an issue with is that vt100 from a telnet session does no play well with sam. The graphics are not correct, it appears that sam does not switch the display into the alternate charater set to generate the graphics characters, so it's just using the lower-case letters.
Is there a patch/known fix/work-around or anything for this? I'm not sure if it is an issue with sam or a depricated terminfo setup for the vt100, and really don't have the time to spare chasing down the wrong one. We are running HP11.00 with the Dec 2001 patch set installed.
thanks,
mark

SolutionIt all depends on the terminal / telnet emulator. My W2K telnet works fine for SAM as delivered but the telnet client for 95/98 doesn't until you go into Terminal -> Preferences -> Fonts and select TERMINAL.

Re: sam &vt100 on hp term
the font setting did the trick for both windows and the application telnet client. If I could remember even half of what I used to know and have forgotten, I'd be doing great.
Harry, thanks for the time and effort.

Re: sam &vt100 on hp term
What is worse is that application programmers need to go back to Terminal-Basics 101, that boring college course that discusses how programs like vi can handle various terminals emulations without hard-coded sequences. The secret is called curses (not a comment but the name of a library). If the programmer(s) were forced to write code on 5-10 different terminals every day, the issue would disappear.
Note: PCs are not terminals. They run programs that make the keyboard and a Window look sort of like a terminal.

Re: sam &vt100 on hp term
Thanks for your comments. I actually have a real vt100 manual from DEC, which of course, was not much help for this issue. About 5-6 years ago I used to do application programming specifically for the reflections telnet emulation, and can appreciate what you are advocating. Even doing basic shell scripting with tputs and stty settings can give a deeper appreciation for the issues involved with terminal emulation.
