VLT 3.656
=========
This update differs from the previous one in a few bug fixes: the
implementation of the insertion/deletion of characters is now done correctly,
a problem with macro file requesters was solved. All 'beep's everywhere in the
program now correctly DisplayBeep when the 'volume' is zero, or audible-beep
when the volume is greater than zero. When the vloume is less than zero, the
beep has a higher pitch. Also, the sequence to set columns and rows has been
doubly privatized. The sequence now is <CSI>?<columns>;<rows>p, to avoid a
conflict with usage of the <CSI>...p sequence elsewhere (see 3.626).
Willy Langeveld, 9 September 1988.
VLT 3.649
=========
This update differs from the previous one in that the 132 column font
was modified (see if you can read this better - otherwise keep the other one). A
major bug was fixed: VLT now gives back the 8k or so of memory it used to
steal. Some minor bugs were fixed, such as the display of 132 column font. A
'clear screen' from the menu now resets the use of the graphics character set if
it was in use. The sequences for insertion/deletion of characters in a line are
now supported. The rendering of the pf gadgets was modified. Both Tektronix and
VT100 screen now use copies of their window's rastports rather than their
window's rastports themselves so some flakey behaviour should have disappeared
when using Quick rendering mode on the VT100 side, or the graphic cursor on the
Tektronix side. The Tektronix emulation now ignores spurious control characters
in vector mode.
Willy Langeveld, 23 August 1988.
VLT 3.626
=========
This update differs from the previous one mainly in that 132 columns are
are now supoported using two new fonts. They are modified versions of the one
that came with VT100 2.6, on one of the Fish disks. Also, the control sequence
<CSI>...p has been modified to include the number of columns as the first
parameter. The last parameter is as before the number of lines. It no longer
matters which parameter this is as long as it's last, but it is recommended to
use the second one. Also the standard VT100 sequences for setting 132 column
mode (<CSI?3h) and going back to 80 column mode (<CSI>?3l) are implemented.
Willy Langeveld, 1 August 1988.
VLT 3.615
=========
This update differs from the previous one mainly in improved handling of
REXX commands. Multiple RX commands from the same .scp file are now supported,
and REXX commands can now be sent to VLT even though an .scp script is active.
These features have not yet been extensively tested, so let me know your
results. Also a bug introduced in 3.598 was fixed.
Willy Langeveld, 22 July 1988.
VLT 3.601
=========
This update differs from the previous one only in that the Tektronix
screen now is also public. Its name is VLTTEK. The screenshare.library is
somewhat smaller, but is functionally the same.
Willy Langeveld, 16 July 1988.
VLT 3.598
=========
This is an update of VLT, as described below. If this is the first
time you've downloaded it, read the section about the previous version first.
This version has most reported bugs fixed, but not many enhancements, on
the theory that enhancements usually introduce more bugs: the intention was to
get a solid version out there first before adding new stuff.
Among the changes are: ScreenToFront/Back() in rexxarplib were fixed,
rexxarplib now has functions to retrieve the screen size and interlace status;
the Tektronix (tm) emulator supports some more sequences and eats others; it now
looks for TekStore: and will open the temporary graphics file there instead of
in ram: (for those that have little ram: but sufficient disk space); Kermit was
modified to work also on CDC's (thanks, s_walton!) and a host of bugs were
fixed. Also, the script command FLUSH was added. It flushes the capture buffer
out to disk (or wherever it was capturing to). This is useful for capturing to
the new 1.3 SPEAK: device, for example. Not everything was fixed: the command
parser is still the same and therefore Wait and On etc. still don't work.
This version is a zoo archive, because it supports long filenames and
also path specifications. Therefore, there are no more executeme files.
Willy Langeveld, July 6, 1988.
VLT 3.553
=========
You have just downloaded an archive containing the executable files for
the terminal emulator VLT. VLT is both a VT100 emulator and a Tektronix
emulator, currently in use at SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center).
Although the VT100 part was originally based on Dave Wecker et al.'s VT100, many
enhancements were made. I won't go into any details at this point. The main
documentation file is not yet ready and will be posted later. For now, if you
have questions, you will have to ask them on BIX in amiga.user. I expect the
documentation to be ready by next week, though...
This program uses ARP, so in order to run it you need arp.library in
your libs: directory. You better make sure you have ARP 1.1, or else nasty
things may happen!
This program is NOT in the public domain. However, you may freely use
this program for any purpose, and are encouraged to distribute it wherever you
want. The author (me) does not, however, accept any responsibility for
suitability for any particular purpose, or for any damages that may occur as a
result of the use of this program, etc., you get the picture... 8-) .
Bug reports are welcome, please send them to me BIXmail.
This archive contains several sub-archives, one for each directory where
you should store the files contained in the sub- archive. Besides VLT and
VLT.info, the archive contains the following files (after executing the various
executeme's). Be sure to read all the various readme files, too! Have fun...
