TEKTEL - a WinSock Telnet with Tektronix T4010 emulation
Version: 1a
TekTel is my first WinSock and first Visual Basic application, so please don't
expect too much of it! I'm writing it because my workplace still uses Uniras
on a Vax, and I'm fed up with supporting Kermit when all other network services
now run under Windows.
Ultimately I intend this to be a VT100 and T4010 emulator. For now, however,
the Tek part works okay but the ascii terminal part is a mess. Its worst fault
is that I haven't worked out how to stop passwords being displayed. It also
doubles typed characters, makes a mess of control characters, and flickers
horribly.
You would not want to use TekTel on its own at the moment, but I think it's
useful enough in conjunction with a decent Telnet (eg QVT).
Apologies for the one month lifespan: I haven't got round to sending
Visual Technology the $50 for their VTSocket library. Hopefully I'll do so
within the next month!
TekTel is public domain - you may distribute it freely. I take no
responsibility for any problems it may cause you, but feel free to email me
about bugs or suggestions. If anyone wants the Tek code to incorporate into
another Telnet just ask.

INSTALLATION:
VTSOCKET.VBX and THREED.VBX should be placed in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
This program requires VTsocket version 1.0H or later (cos the earlier
versions lost data).
You will also need the Visual Basic 3.0 runtime support library
VBRUN300.DLL available from major sites (eg wuarchive.wustl.edu)
