- PC-VT is a VT-100/102 and Tek 4010/4014 Emulator for the IBM PC
- or PC Clones. PC-VT runs on the PC, the PCXT, and the PCAT under DOS
- 2.x to 5.0.
-
- This version of PC-VT is the complete Professional version which
- has been available for about 4 years. I have taken all of the
- enhancements (and bug fixes) of that version and moved them into the
- User Supported version of PC-VT. The Professional Version is no longer
- sold commercially.
-
- Now more about the version 10.1 of PC-VT. It includes an
- enhanced version of the VT-100 emulator and a Tektronix 4010/4014
- emulator. It supports both 132 column mode and high resolution graphics
- with the addition of the Everex Edge board and high resolution graphics
- with the addition of the Hercules graphics board. It supports the VMS
- EVE editor as well as EDT, VI and Emacs with special Keypad key
- bindings. Windows are used for file transfer and the program can be
- completely controlled by the host for automatic file transfer. The
- keyboard can be remapped to suit your taste, screen colors can be set
- with Escape Sequences, and you can recall screen data which has scrolled
- off the top of the screen.
-
- I have versions of XMODEM for the VAX running VMS ,for UNIX
- System V and for UNIX 4.2BSD and a version of ZMODEM which runs under
- Unix. You can get those by sending me a formatted 360Kb diskette for
- each one you need and a pre-paid pre-addressed diskette mailer. Make
- sure you tell me which ones you want. The XMODEM and ZMODEM programs
- are public domain.
-
- Some of the enhancements for version 10.1 of PC-VT are:
-
- 1. The dialer has been enlarged to 100 entries.
- 2. ZMODEM and YMODEM are supported using the external DSZ program from
- Omen Technology, Inc.
- 3. PC-VT Supports COM3 and COM4 for serial communications. Supports
- non-standard port 2E0 and can match any IRQ to any port. Supports
- interrupt chaining.
- 4. The printer escape sequences are handled more like a VT terminal.
- 5. PC-VT does a better job of emulating the escape sequences to the local
- printer (to support local printer from your host).
- 6. PC-VT handles LPT1 through LPT4 and COM1 through COM4 for the
- printer port.
- 7. RTS/CTS flow control has been added.
- 8. Added a SETUP feature to disable PC-VT Private Sequences.
- 9. Full Tektronix 4010/4014 Emulation.
-
- You can always get the latest version of PC-VT from me. Call my
- phone number below to find out what the latest version number is.
-
- To get PC-VT, you can :
-
- 1. Call my ATHENA SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT GROUP board at
- 619-549-3927 and download the file PC-VT101.ZIP.
-
- 2. Send me 1 formatted 360K floppy along with a self-addressed
- postage paid floppy mailer and I will return PC-VT in the mail.
-
- 3. Send me $9 for postage and handling and I will send PC-VT in
- the mail.
-
- I would appreciate any comments which you might have regarding
- the program or its usefulness. When you write, please indicate the
- version number of PC-VT which you are using.
