Just tested version 3.16 beta with same result as before.
The VAX software has worked correctly with a real VT320 for almost 10
years now. I have captured the output to disk and found that the host
is sending the following sequence to the terminal during the process
of switching back to 80 column mode:
<last line of text output in 132 column mode (prints OK)>
<ESC>[23;16H<ESC>[23;34H<ESC>[;H<ESC>[2J<ESC>[?3l<ESC>[1;1H
<first line of text output in 80 column mode (NO printing, only
visible on screen)>
Any ideas, why any of these 'quite normal' <Escape> sequences should
make Kermit disable printing? It's not a matter of the printer, as the
PRN indicator at the right-most end of the Kermit status line
disappears during the switching.
Thanks.
