NOTES FROM THE MOD.SOURCES MODERATOR:
|
|
I split the source up into the three separate pieces it now is.
|
|
In doing this, I put lines like "int reading;" in a header file
|
|
that both C modules include. If your Unix requires one of these
|
|
to be "extern int reading;" then you will have some editing to do.
|
|
Also note that this program uses FIONREAD, which must be implemented
|
|
differently in SystemV, etc., and check out the setjmp() call...

Oh, yeah: I also wrote the Makefile and manpage, such as they are.

|
|
This is a program to test the compatibility (or to demonstrate the
|
|
non-compatibility) of so-called "VT100-compatible" terminals. In
|
|
conformance of the good old hacker traditions, the only documentation
|
|
of this program is the source code itself. To understand it, you also
|
|
need a copy of the original VT100 manual from DEC.
|
|
|
|
Comments and bug reports: Since this is a release (via USENET) to the
|
|
whole world, a lot of people are going to have opinions and fresh
|
|
ideas about it. (What -- bugs in MY program? Aww...) I can't deal
|
|
with everyone sending me a hacked version, but if you have found a
|
|
serious bug, or ported it to VMS, do tell me. I can't promise any new
|
|
version release, though. From this version on (1.7b) VTTEST will have
|
|
to live its own life without its father holding its hand.

The original version of this program is written for the Sargasso C
|
|
compiler for the DECsystem-10. Many thanks to all sales persons with
|
|
quote VT100-compatible unquote terminals, who prompted me to write
|
|
this program, and also to:
|
|
|
|
-- Bo Kleve, LIDAC, Linkoping University, Sweden
|
|
for the portation to DECSYSTEM-20 with the Sargasso C compiler
|
|
|
|
-- Johan Widen, TTDS, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden
|
|
for the portation to various UNIX systems (incl. System III and Xenix)
|
|
|
|
-- Russ Herman, AES Data Inc., Missisauga, Ont. Canada
|
|
for fixes and code for the VT102 test
|
|
|
|
Thanx also to JMR "Gremlin" at KTH, and Goran Wallberg at QZ
|
|
for suggestions, bug fixes, etc.
|
|
|
|
This program does not have support for all the different variations
|
|
of VT100, like VT125, VT131 nor the new VT200 series. Feel free to
|
|
add that yourself. Happy Hacking!
