Sb: #geoTerm 2.0 works on CIS
Fm: Ronald B. Romine 72220,1726
To: [F] All
Boy am I embarassed. I've been complaining about geoTerm 2.0 not working with
CIS. The problem was the CIS file which I (everyone) sets, informing CIS of my
terminals needs. It was set to EVEN parity for my old terminal. GeoTerm needs
the CIS default settings set to ZERO or NONE.
If you have geoTerm problems just GO TERMINAL and reset it for geoTerm. You
will problably need to use your old terminal to change these settings for the
next time you use CIS. Also it helps to log-on using Half-Duplex then switch
to FULL-Duplex after your terminal type has been identified. : GeoRon.

I gotten GeoTerm 2.0 to work with CIS, now how do I send a [ESCAPE] code? My
old term us CTRL-: this isn't working for me with geoTerm 2.0. I need the Code
to play MegaWars1. =GeoRon=

Ron,
I haven't gotten around to ordering the new Run GEOS disk yet, so this is
just a guess. The correct sequence for ESC should be CTRL-[ (that's CTRL
left-square-bracket.) Try shifting that : and see if it does any good. Unless
GeoTerm is intercepting it, it oughta work.

I just want to thank Ronnie for sharing the settings on GeoTerm to log onto
CIS. I've been playing around with the BRF setting to get the garbage off my
screen. I think that the setting mentipned will help a lot! Thanks!

The BRF setting of 59 works well for the display, but not for uploading. A
setting of 60 or 61 allows me to upload. =geoRon=

I appreciate that, Ron. But what does that mean? Should I view with the BRF
set at one point for viewing and change to another for up and down loading?
That could be a definite pain. As much as I do enjoy the idea of GEOTERM,
VIDTEX has done very well for my use; thankyou. It's just nice to be able to
log onto CIS while I'm in GEOS without exiting the environment and going to
VIDTEX.
What would be really nice is to have VIDTEX incorporated into the GEOS
environment. That would be truly super! To have all the beauty of Vidtex in
pull-down windows. Now THAT would be a GEOTERM program I could fall in love
with! Meanwhile, I still experiment with this.
Another thought. I get the initial Compuserve screen when I log on with
GeoTerm but the rest of the menus turn out garbage. Is it possible that the
setting of nulls would help a little in the display? I'll try that out for
size. But, tell me, what are the settings you have for your C64 in Geoterm and
your profile online? That would give me something more to go on.
Thankyou again for your help.

It's true! GEOTERM DOES work on CIS!!! Now it's MY turn to be embarrassed. I
just discovered why my terminal was getting a lot of garbage. Apparently
copying the GeoTerm file jumbled some of the info from one disk to another. I
logged onto CIS using the original disk that has the program and it worked just
fine! No garbage, no fuss and no muss! I was happy. I then copied the C64
terminal file to the workdisk and now, here I am, logged on with my GEOTERM!
This is most convenient for retrieving my E-mail an getting some graphics from
the various forums. I can download the good stuff and stay in the GEOS
environment to convert and ejoy! What a joy!
Thankyou again for all your help.

If I set the BRF to 60, things go well both ways, text display and file
transmition. GeoTerm 2.0 is an 8-bit term, generic format. geoTerm can't be
altered, so I had to change my online profile using my old term. Set terminal
type to OTHER, then changed screen profile to 21 lines by 80 columns. PARITY
MUST be set to ZERO or NONE. Save the profile as your perament settings. The
next time you log-on, do so at HALf-duplex, once CIS ID's you, you can switch
to FULL-duplex. =geoRon.=

Why settle for less? How about someone writing GEOnavigator. Then it would do
everything for you just like those MAC guys have. For my term, BTP 64, I use
separate entries for 300, 1200 text and uploading, and 1200 downloading. That
way I don't have to remember anything. But I am going to start using GEOTERM
2.0 to download into my REU. I have been doing tests
to make sure it is really faster and cheaper. Saving to the 1541 was cutting
my effective BAUD rate to about 640 BPS, but GEOTERM clocks in at about 1080
BPS saving into the REU. So it seems worht logging off and then on later at
1200 under GEOS. Tony

I have found that I average about 20K of saving messages and want to print them
out right away, so I will use GEOTERM only for downloading huge files. It
doesn't have any quick way to print out the capture buffer. Tony

Ron,
Did you know you can have more than one terminal setting with CIS?
You can logon to CIS with 72220,1726*oldterm or 72220,1726*geoterm. But first
you must define your alternate terminal settings.
You can setup alternate terminal settings from your personal file area. At the
prompt in your PER area type TER PAR and you will see you current session
parameters. You can change them by typing things like - TER WIDTH 80, TER
PAGSIZ 21 or TER RATE 300. When you have the settings you want type something
like - TERminal DEFination GEOTERM.
Somewhere I have a captured file on all the things you can do with alternate
settings. Maybe I will look for the file.

To: Bill Roberson 73320,1550
I tried GEOTERM at 1200 and was quite disturbed to see CIS was not reverting to
8N1 and I had to manually set it once in the forum with SET PARITY ZERO. When I
went into DEFALT or TERMINAL, I found that there was no WORD option to set
8-bit words, as outlined in the USer Guide. Feedback said that WORD is no
longer valid and once you set parity to zero, it assumes you want 8N1. So
sometimes I get 8N1 after my password, sometimes not.
But you'll always get garbage at the Host Name: prompt, because CIS assumes a
caller is using 7E1 until it learns different. Downloading into the REU is much
faster at 1200 than the 1541. I should be able to do Xmodem at about 1080 BPS
into the REU vs. 640 BPS into the 1541. Tony

Tony,
CIS should have a different setup for each speed you use. It almost sounds
like you are logging on at different baud rates. If that is the case just
logon at 1200 and set up things the way you want them.
My users manual is dated 09/86 and doesn't mention WORD. It does show a PARITY
that can be set to ZERO, EVEN, ODD, or ONE. I suggest you set to ZERO PARITY
and see if that fixes your problem.
I have a new users manual ordered and when it arrives, I will check to see if
it has anything else that will be of use to you.

Ron, if you want the complete CIS documentation on how to set up alternate
terminal definitions enter PRO at the regular CIS exclamation mark (!) prompt.
When you get to the OK prompt, enter HELp TERminal. When you get the
TERMINAL Subtopic?
prompt, enter 3 periods ( ...<CR> ). That'll get you the complete
documentation, about 19 pages worth. This should answer all your questions, and
then some.

My User Guide is dated 05/88. On page 23, option 8 is Word length. But feedback
says that option is no longer available and that PARITY ZERO should be
sufficient. I think part of the problem is that sometimes when I log on, my
PROFILE is not found or menu is not found. About half the time I get messages
that something is not found or the host is not accesssible. Anyway, the other
half of time, everything goes OK. Like today I got wisked right into Easyplex,
no sweat. But for sure, the Host Name and ID: prompts will be garbled. Tony
