The following files come with term:
term.asm source code for term.com
masm term;
link term;
exe2bin term.exe term.com
install.c the source for the installation program
usage: install [com-file]
default for the com-file is term.com in the
current working directory
install was a q&d (quick and dirty) program,
so don't expect too much. It assumes the ansi
driver to clear the screen.
What follows is just the comment on top of the source file:
This is version 2.2 of TERM. TERM is a terminal program that
emulates a zenith z19 terminal. It's main feature is, that it is
memory-resident. This allows you to run two tasks simultaneouly,
one on your dos machine, the other on the host computer.
You can switch easily back and forth by pressing the hotkey.
TERM has a 2048 character receive buffer, and receives characters
while you are doing other things under Dos. The characters are
printed on the screen, when you switch back to the host.
When term receives the bell character, while it's in the
background, it will switch immediately to the foreground.
Thus, you are notified if you receive mail (biff) or
someone wants to talk with you.
