- Files included:
-
- -README You are
- 42F-42G.NOT Note about a conflict with certain BDOS upgrades
- QTCHAT.DYC QTERM chat scripts documentation
- QTERM.CYM QTERM, unpatched
- QTERM.DYC QTERM documentation
- QTERM.FOR Quick description of what QTERM can do for you
- QTERM.PYT Patch information for QTERM
- VT100.TC UNIX Termcap entry that works with the VT100 emulator
- QT-PATCH.ZY Patch area source, to provide a basis to work with
-
- Patch info for making QTERM work on your system is included in QTERM.PAT.
- As provided, QTERM will work on a Televideo 803 (or a TPC-1), because
- that's what I developed it on. Note that not all the patches are
- necessary, but the more optional ones you get going, the more features
- QTERM will have. QTERM.PAT also includes a reference to a "1K patch
- overlay". I'm trying to collect as many of these as possible, so if you
- can, try to get yours back to me, with a memo telling which computer it
- works on, and which of the optional patches you have included.
-
- The .?Y? files are made with the new LZH compression method, this typically
- produces files 10 to 15 to 20 % smaller than CRUNCH. EXL.COM (in EXL.LBR)
- is one tool that will decompress these, or CRLZH??.LBR is the original
- .LBR for LZH compression.
-
- For those that are interested, the name actually arose because in mid 1985
- I needed a terminal program for my CP/M machine (A Televideo 803) and
- put a quick 1/2K program together in under an hour. This program has been
- growing ever since, but the name Q(uick) TERM(inal) program remains.
- It is now approaching 16K ....... :-)
-
- I also give thanks to Dave Goodman, Tom Bopp, Larry Moore and Dave Presberg
- for all their help in debugging and beta testing QTERM, and to all the other
- people who have sent in patches and suggestions. I'd never have got it
- anything like working and as full featured without all your help.
-
- Credit is also due the unknown author of the UNIX Kermit implementation
- that I used for the basis of the Kermit code here, and to Steve Grandi
- who wrote the Xmodem program in C that provided the basis for the Xmodem
- code in QTERM.
-
- If you need to get hold of me for any reason (need help with patches, or
- a patch file to send my way), I can be reaced at:
