The file pc95.ksc is a Kermit-95 take (script) file that will remap the PC
keyboard so that it will look like the PC/Connect-2 ttp (host_pc2) but will
work with the vt320.ttp.
K95 with this script will then function just like to PC/Connect-2 when using
the vt320 ttp. You must have at least version 1.1.17 of K95. The previous
version have a problem with the vt320 ttp. The problem is with the NEL
directive. You can hack the ttp and replace the new line ttp directive with
<cr><lf>, although there is no reason not to just upgrade your K95.
The vt320 ttp works well with the pc95.ksc keyboard remapping file. I know of
a flaw which is that function key mode does not work at all. The file
kermit.ttp is a hacked up version of the vt320 ttp. It fixes the function key
mode problem, more or less.
Known issues:
If you plan on using the VOS unformatted_edit.pm program, then I have
experienced problems if the communications is 7 bit. There are some settings
in kermit to change the comm parity to 7 bit with parity, but that is a pain.
Telnet should be 8 bit. For dialup, I would think that a modem with error
correction is superior to parity and thus 8 bit should be used also.
The only entries on the PC/Connect template that I did not cover were "rotate
form" and "rotate back," mostly because I did not know what they did and in 15
on Stratus, I have never had to use them.
Interesting points:
I create a K95 entry with size 132x42 and then when set_terminal_type.pm
detect kermit, I then force the terminal to be that size with a
set_terminal_parameters -setup 13242. Of course this does not work if you
utilize the vt320 ttp.
This keyboard file does some things that PC-Connect never did. Say for
example that you are connected via telnet and are using window terms. One
hassle I dislike is all the keystokes I need to change windows. I have
bundled those in alt-right-arrow and alt-left-arrow. This does not always
work since I suspect that K95 likes to send the bytes faster than VOS can read
them but, most of the time it does. It make using mp_debug much easier!
