- RLOGIN.DOC for version 36.14 Revised Dec 7, 1990 -bj
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- ** NOTE: Users of versions previous to this one will need to change
- their termcap or terminfo!!!
-
- Usage:
-
- rlogin host [-l user][-x #][-y #][-w #][-h #][-r 0][-c][-t t/b][-u #]
-
- where: -l user login name on the remote machine. The default is
- the entry given by "user=" in inet:s/inet.config
- -x # left edge of the window
- -y # top edge of the window
- -h # height of the window
- -w # width of the window
- -r 0 no resize gadget
- -c gives a custom screen (and NO windows)
- -t t/b changes default terminal type and baud rate
- -u # toggle use of the 2.0 console device options
-
-
- NOTE: All options and their arguments MUST be separated
- by at least one space
-
- legal: rlogin -x 400 -y 200 -u 1
-
- illegal: rlogin -x400 - y 200 -u1

-
-
- --------
-
-
- Resizing: -r
-
- Use an argument of '0' (zero) to turn OFF the resize gadget.
- Any other numeric argument turns it on. No argument is an error.
-
- USAGE: -r <#>
-
- EXAMPLE: -r 0
-
- DEFAULT: On
-
- --------
-
- Console: -u
-
- Note: The -u option is functional only under the 2.x Operating System.
-
- Under the 2.0 operating system the console device has the options to
- have a character mapped display and cut-and-paste between console
- windows. If you run rlogin under the 2.x operating system you will get
- these options be default. If you desire, you can alter the default by
- use of the -u flag ('u' for 'unit'.)
-
- Under 2.0 you have the options of '0', '1' and '3'. Zero ('0') gives
- you the same behavior as the console device under 1.3. Unit number one
- ('1') gives you a character mapped display. This means that if you
- resize the window, the text will be redrawn to match the new window
- dimensions. The use of option '3' gives you the character mapped
- display as well as the ability to do cut-and-paste operations between
- console windows (the Amiga's CLI for example.) The default under 2.0 is
- '3'. See the AmigaDOS 2.0 manuals for more information on these
- features.
-
- A side benefit of this option is that it allows you to resize the rlogin
- window down to a very small size. Such resizing is NOT available under
- earlier ( < 2.0 ) operating systems or if you don't set the -u flag to
- either '1' or '3'. The default is option 3 which gives you both character
- mapping and cut & paste.
-
- Under the 1.3 operating system you have only '0' (the default)
-
- USAGE: -u <option>
-
- EXAMPLE: -u 0
- -u 1
-
- DEFAULT: Under OS 2.0 the default is '-u 3'
- Under OS 1.3 the default is '-u 0'
-
- --------
-
- TermType: -t
-
- The termtype flag ( '-t' ) allows the user to tell the host what what
- his terminal type is. This is handy for using different termcap or
- terminfo files. There is a direct relationship between what Rlogin
- passes as it's termtype and which termcap or terminfo the host will use
- for you.
-
- The termtype also passes a requested baud rate for your session. The
- host may or may not honor this, however.
-
- The default for Rlogin (what it will tell the host if you don't use the
- -t flag) is:
-
- RLamiga/9600
-
- The termcap that accompanies this release has it's identifiers matching
- the default termtype of Rlogin.
-
- The included termcap file can be converted to a terminfo entry for use
- with applications that use terminfo, as is common on System V Unix
- machines. The System V "captoinfo" and "tic" commands can be used to
- convert termcap files into terminfo form. The file terminfo.src is
- included for those who do not have the captoinfo command. See the
- captoinfo and tic man pages.
-
-
-
- USAGE: -t <termtype/baud>
-
- EXAMPLE: -t myterm/9600
-
- DEFAULT: -t RLamiga/9600
-
-
- --------
-
-
- LeftEdge: -x
-
-
- This flag allows you to specify the horizontal position of the left
- edge of the window (if you are using a window and not a screen.)
-
- USAGE: -x <position>
-
- EXAMPLE: -x 100
-
- DEFAULT: -x 0 (zero)
-
-
- --------
-
-
- TopEdge: -y
-
-
- This flag allows you to specify the vertical position of the top edge
- of the window (if you are using a window and not a screen.)
-
- USAGE: -y <position>
-
- EXAMPLE: -y 100
-
- DEFAULT: -y 0 (zero)
-
-
- --------
-
-
- Width: -w
-
-
- This flag allows you to specify the width of the window. (if you are
- using a window and not a screen.)
-
- USAGE: -w <width>
-
- EXAMPLE: -w 700
-
- DEFAULT: If you open RLogin in a window, it will attempt to open the
- window to a width that will give you a full 80 columns of
- text. This value is calculated from the current text that
- you are using. If the width value that it calculates turns
- out to be larger than the width of the screen, the window
- will open to the screen's width.
-
-
-
- --------
-
-
- Height: -h
-
-
- This flag allows you to specify the height of the window. (if you are
- using a window and not a screen.)
-
- USAGE: -h <height>
-
- EXAMPLE: -h 500
-
- DEFAULT: If you open RLogin in a window, it will attempt to open the
- window to a height that will give you a full 24 lines of
- text. This value is calculated from the current text that you
- are using. If the height value that it calculates turns out
- to be larger than the height of the screen, the window will
- open to the screen's height.
-
-
-
- --------
-
-
- Screen: -c
-
- This flag tells Rlogin to open as an Amiga custom screen instead of as
- a window on the Amiga Workbench. This flag overrides any and all
- position and size flags.
-
- USAGE: -c
-
- DEFAULT: Off
