- QTERM
-
- This is a revision of Craig Bishop's rewrite of Michael Cooper's program
- to determine the terminal type by sending one or more strings and
- interpreting the responses. Enhancements over the previous version
- (which appeared in comp.sources.unix as v12i025) are:
-
- It has a manual page.
- It allows a default terminal type to be specified if the terminal is not
- recognized.
- It recognizes octal escapes in the send and receive strings, allowing
- the Wyse 50 to be recognized.
- It uses getopt.
- The code has been cleaned up and more comments added.

- (From the previous README:)
-
- Qterm is particularly valuable in port selector and terminal server
- environments. Most terminals can respond to the standard ANSI query
- sequences; others which cannot will often do answerback.
-
- If you find any bugs please report them to me.
