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... + /Rich $alz +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. + +My address is: + +Network-mail address: (mcvax,seismo)!enea!suadb!lindberg + +Real-world-mail address: Per Lindberg + QZ, Stockholm University Computing Center + Box 27322 + S - 102 54 Stockholm + SWEDEN + +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! + + /TMP |
