- Hi,
-
- First of all here is the relevant versions of software:
-
- FlexGen 3.0 "for Xenix/Unix Operating System", WinQVT 2.18, Novell 2.15 using
- SMC Ethercard 16 cards, Consensys V4.2.1, Windows 3.1 with pktint, in enhanced
- and standard mode, DOS 5.0. (Whew).
-
- The problem is while in FlexGen when a function key is pressed it doesn't
- always come through whole. For example, the terminal type generally used is
- VT102, which is defined as being the help key in FlexGen. Most times, when F1
- is pressed, the user gets help. However, sometimes the codes for the key come
- through (IE, OP for F1). It seems like a pause of some sort is being
- introduced in between the escape code and the key sequence.
-
- The problem does NOT occur while on the system console, or using NCSA Telnet..
-
-
- It seems to be worse on a 386sx-16 system then it is on a 386DX-40, though it
- may not be speed related since different versions of DOS are being used.
-
- Does any one know of a fix, or alternatively if you have a similiar setup have
- you (or have you not) witnessed this problem? Any suggestions?
-
- Is there any way to contact the author(s) of WinQVT? It seems like good
- software and we want to use it throughout our organization, but a P.O. box is
- not exactly our idea of "good support". Is there an alternative to WinQVT? I
- know WinQVT is reasonably priced, but sometimes it's worth it to pay more if
- you get some support.. just not too much more :) We're looking for Windows
- based software, and something that has a macro language would be excellant.
