- Well, ^V^O doesn't work. that was the first thing I tried, as I had recently
- read those articles. ;)
- This problem only happens under linux.
- I am useing 0.96, not .96a, .96b, .96c.....(seems I always grab the latest
- version number right before the bugfixes!)
- I used dos
- (pcplus 2.01) to do the same yesterday, and it works great. :(
- now, for the symptoms:
- I think the command giving problems is a clear screen sequence from the remote
- host, which happens to be a vax running vms. (yech) ;)
- The screen goes into the extended character set, but only the lower case
- letters! numbers, and capital letters do ok.
- go figure. :(
- My solution for now:
- create a dos partition temporarily.
- install dos5.0, and pcplus2.01 on that partition.
- use this to login and get the linux stuff I need...
- reboot to linux.....
- mcopy the stuff over.
- I was hoping to use linux only, so I wouldn't have to truncate file names,
- but them's the breaks... :(
-
- I am going to do a setterm -file dfile -dump 2 and see if the graphics get
- captured, or if it maps normal on another vc....
- Later,
