旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � WinQVT � � � � A DEC VT220 Terminal Emulator � � � � For Microsoft Windows � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� WinQVT is a DEC VT220/102/52 terminal emulator and communications program which has been created to run under Microsoft Windows as a true 'Windows' application. WinQVT provides an exceptaional level of VT emulation, including double-wide and double-high characters, the full 'Special Graphics' character set, smooth scrolling, 132-columns, and user-defined keys. In addition to terminal emulation, WinQVT offers file transfer facilities using four popular protocols - Kermit, XMODEM, YMODEM, and ZMODEM, as well as auto-dial and auto-login capabilities. Since WinQVT is a Windows applic- ation, these operations, once started, may be sent to the background, thereby permitting the use of the machine for other tasks. This document does not constitute full user documentation, but it does tell you what you need to know to use and register WinQVT. For a list of recent changes, see the accompanying RELEASE.DOC file. Hardware Requirements 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴- WinQVT, like most Windows applications, is not practical on anything less than an 8-mHz AT or compatible. In addition, WinQVT requires a VGA, EGA or Hercules Graphics Adapter. Even though Windows will run on a CGA-equipped machine, it is our judgment that the CGA does not provide adequate resolution for this application. The only keyboard supported by WinQVT is the 101-key 'Enhanced' keyboard. This is the keyboard most frequently found on computers which are powerful enough to run Windows, and it also the one which is best suited to emulate the DEC LK201 keyboard. If you intend to use the modem-control features of WinQVT, you must have a Hayes or Hayes-compatible modem. The modem must be set up to allow computer control of the DTR signal; consult the modem user's manual for instructions on how to do this. Software Requirements 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴- WinQVT version 3.50 requires Windows 2.03 or higher. It will not run under Windows 1.0x. Files 컴컴- The files included in this archive are: WINQVT.EXE The executable program file VT220.FON The special fonts required by WinQVT DEFAULT.VT A model configuration file RELEASE.DOC A list of recent improvements in WinQVT READ.ME This document Notes on Operation 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴�- The WinQVT screen contains a standard Windows menu bar across the top of the screen. There are five pull-down menus which are used to operate the program: File Perform file operations, e.g. load and save Edit For moving data to and from the Clipboard Setup Configure WinQVT operating parameters Modem Control a Hayes-compatible modem Transfer Perform protocol file transfers After WinQVT is started, you must perform a config operation in order to begin communications. This may be done in one of two ways: you may invoke the 'Comm' option from the 'Setup' menu, or you may load a pre-existing config file (using the 'Open' option from the 'File' menu). A sample config file, 'DEFAULT.VT', is provided with this package. WinQVT config files are created by the 'Save As' menu option (File menu). They must have the extension '.VT' in order to be recognized by the 'Open' menu option. The most convenient way to start WinQVT is to combine the program load and configuration into a single step. To do this, you should include the line vt=winqvt.exe ^.vt in the '[extensions]' section of your WIN.INI file. Having done this, you can start and configure WinQVT simply by double-clicking on the name of the desired config file. Dialing 컴컴컴- Phone numbers may be associated with specific host configurations by placing a 'phone=' directive in the .VT file for that host. This number will then come up automatically when the 'Dial' menu is invoked. WinQVT also supports modem initialization strings. These may be entered as 'init=' directives in the .VT file. NOTE: if your modem responds to a carriage return as a command terminator (as most modems do), you MUST include a carriage return, notated as ^M, at the end of your initialization string. For example, 'init=at&c1&d2x1^M' would be a valid initialization string for a typical Hayes-compatible modem. File Transfer 컴컴컴컴컴컴- When performing Kermit file transfers, make sure that you set the parity of the remote Kermit so that it matches WinQVT's parity setting. Otherwise, the transfer will fail. The version of YMODEM included in WinQVT is a true 'batch' YMODEM imple- mentation. The YMODEM offered by some bulletin boards is really XMODEM-1K; if you have trouble transferring files to or from a BBS using YMODEM, try using WinQVT's XMODEM protocol instead. After a file transfer has been started, you can use the mouse to switch to another Windows application while the transfer is proceeding. Note that this must be a true Windows application; switching to a 'standard' applic- ation will cause the file transfer to time out. Keyboard Mapping 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴�- The version of WinQVT provided here is intended for use with a computer with the 101-key Enhanced keyboard. The DEC LK-201 keys are mapped as follows: DEC IBM PF1 F1 PF2 F2 PF3 F3 PF4 F4 - (minus) Grey Minus (on keypad) , (comma) '*' (on keypad) Enter GreyPlus HoldScreen Scroll Lock Setup (no key, use menu) Data/Talk Not Supported Break F5 F6 - F9 F6 - F9 F10 F11 F11 - F19 Shift-F1 - F9 F20 Shift-F11 The following keys are located on the separate cursor keypad: Arrows Arrows The following keys are located on the separate 'Editing' keypad: Find Insert InsertHere Home Remove PageUp Select Delete PrevScreen End NextScreen PageDown Fonts 컴컴- The font file included in this package is designed for use with EGA and VGA display adapters. If you have a Hercules graphics adapter, you may request a font file special tailored for that display system when you register your copy of WinQVT. Versions of QVT 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴- QVT has also been implemented in a version for the Apple Macintosh. The Mac version, like the one for Windows, supports all of the advanced display features of the VT220. It runs on the Mac Plus, SE, and Mac II computers, and is compatible with both the standard keyboard and extended keyboard. MacQVT is fully Multifinder-aware.
