- PC-VT - VT100/VT102/VT52 Terminal Emulator
-
- (C) Copyright 1984 Mark C. DiVecchio
-
- Version 7.5
-
- PC-VT is a software emulator which makes the IBM-PC function as
- a DEC VT102 or a VT100 Video Terminal. Version 3.0 includes a
- Hayes compatible dialer and phone number directory. Version 4.0
- includes many user suggested improvements. Version 5.0 added
- XMODEM (CRC capable) support. Version 6.0 added DOS 2 path name
- support for file upload and download. Version 7.0 added VT52
- emulation as a subset of the VT100 mode of operation. The latest
- version of PC-VT runs on the PC and the PCjr.
-
- - Here is a brief list of the functions handled by PC-VT.
-
- * Communication over an RS232 port configured as either
- COM1 or COM2.
-
- * Communications support for all of the popular baud rate
- and data bit/parity bit combinations.
-
- * Full Duplex with no EIA modem control. Only data leads
- have to be connected (FDX A mode). Suitable for use
- with a null modem (direct) connection to the host
- computer or with a modem which does not require modem
- control signals. PC-VT does send DSR and RTS.
-
- * Support for Hayes dialing commands and includes a
- Dialing Directory with 10 entries.
-
- * Support of ALT-F1 thru ALT-F10 as Macro keys.
-
- * Support of environment string 'PC-VT=' for finding the
- location of the parameter files.
-
- * VT52 Compatibility Mode.
-
- * Full receive parity checking.
-
- * Both Numeric and Application Keypad modes.
-
- * Full cursor control.
-
- * Full feature Upload and Download file capability. Both
- ASCII and XMODEM (CRC capable) are supported. Path
- names are supported if you are using DOS 2. ASCII
- upload features a handshake capability.
-

-
-
-
-
-
-
- * Capability to transmit a sustained Break.
-
- * NO SCROLL key XON/XOFF support.
-
- * Connection of a printer as either LPT1 or LPT2
- including local print screen operations.
-
- * Capability to echo all displayed characters to LPT1 or
- LPT2 as hardcopy record of a terminal session.
-
- * Using special ALT key keystrokes, access to several
- special function procedures.
-
- * SETUP A and SETUP B displays.
-
- * Full XON/XOFF support for both transmit and receive.
-
- * ON LINE, LED "L1" and KBD LOCKED lights are supported
- via the use of line 25 of the PC display as a status
- line. Four LED lights are supported for the VT100.
-
- * For the more sophisticated user, the majority of the
- ANSI standard and DEC private Escape sequences are
- supported.
-
- - Run DOS functions without leaving PC-VT or disconnecting
- from the host.
-
- - Here is a brief list of what PC-VT can not handle.
-
- * Half duplex modes (HDX A and HDX B) and special full
- duplex modes (FDX B and FDX C).
-
- * Features used only in these non supported
- communications modes.
-
- * Test and Adjustments Escape sequences.
-
- * Certain display attribute handling for normal and
- reverse video. The IBM-PC does not handle reverse
- video (black on white) the same way as the VT100/102.
-
- * Functions with no IBM-PC hardware such as Smooth Scroll
- mode, 132 column mode, Alternate Character ROM modes,
- and double height character modes.
