Because of the numerous added features and fixed bugs, there is a separate documentation file in the docs directory, called vlt4p036.doc. The ARexx support libraries rexxarplib and rexxmathlib are no longer included here, but distributed in a separate archive. In case you're wondering about the revision number: there have indeed been 380 relinks of VLT since version 3.656. Willy Langeveld, 5 June 1989. VLT 3.656 ========= This update differs from the previous one in a few bug fixes: the implementation of the insertion/deletion of characters is now done correctly, a problem with macro file requesters was solved. All 'beep's everywhere in the program now correctly DisplayBeep when the 'volume' is zero, or audible-beep when the volume is greater than zero. When the vloume is less than zero, the beep has a higher pitch. Also, the sequence to set columns and rows has been doubly privatized. The sequence now is ?;p, to avoid a conflict with usage of the ...p sequence elsewhere (see 3.626). Willy Langeveld, 9 September 1988. VLT 3.649 ========= This update differs from the previous one in that the 132 column font was modified (see if you can read this better - otherwise keep the other one). A major bug was fixed: VLT now gives back the 8k or so of memory it used to steal. Some minor bugs were fixed, such as the display of 132 column font. A 'clear screen' from the menu now resets the use of the graphics character set if it was in use. The sequences for insertion/deletion of characters in a line are now supported. The rendering of the pf gadgets was modified. Both Tektronix and VT100 screen now use copies of their window's rastports rather than their window's rastports themselves so some flakey behaviour should have disappeared when using Quick rendering mode on the VT100 side, or the graphic cursor on the Tektronix side. The Tektronix emulation now ignores spurious control characters in vector mode. Willy Langeveld, 23 August 1988. VLT 3.626 ========= This update differs from the previous one mainly in that 132 columns are are now supoported using two new fonts. They are modified versions of the one that came with VT100 2.6, on one of the Fish disks. Also, the control sequence ...p has been modified to include the number of columns as the first parameter. The last parameter is as before the number of lines. It no longer matters which parameter this is as long as it's last, but it is recommended to use the second one. Also the standard VT100 sequences for setting 132 column mode (?3l) are implemented. Willy Langeveld, 1 August 1988. VLT 3.615 ========= This update differs from the previous one mainly in improved handling of REXX commands. Multiple RX commands from the same .scp file are now supported, and REXX commands can now be sent to VLT even though an .scp script is active. These features have not yet been extensively tested, so let me know your results. Also a bug introduced in 3.598 was fixed. Willy Langeveld, 22 July 1988. VLT 3.601 ========= This update differs from the previous one only in that the Tektronix screen now is also public. Its name is VLTTEK. The screenshare.library is somewhat smaller, but is functionally the same. Willy Langeveld, 16 July 1988. VLT 3.598 ========= This is an update of VLT, as described below. If this is the first time you've downloaded it, read the section about the previous version first. This version has most reported bugs fixed, but not many enhancements, on the theory that enhancements usually introduce more bugs: the intention was to get a solid version out there first before adding new stuff. Among the changes are: ScreenToFront/Back() in rexxarplib were fixed, rexxarplib now has functions to retrieve the screen size and interlace status; the Tektronix (tm) emulator supports some more sequences and eats others; it now looks for TekStore: and will open the temporary graphics file there instead of in ram: (for those that have little ram: but sufficient disk space); Kermit was modified to work also on CDC's (thanks, s_walton!) and a host of bugs were fixed. Also, the script command FLUSH was added. It flushes the capture buffer out to disk (or wherever it was capturing to). This is useful for capturing to the new 1.3 SPEAK: device, for example. Not everything was fixed: the command parser is still the same and therefore Wait and On etc. still don't work. This version is a zoo archive, because it supports long filenames and also path specifications. Therefore, there are no more executeme files. Willy Langeveld, July 6, 1988. VLT 3.553 ========= You have just downloaded an archive containing the executable files for the terminal emulator VLT. VLT is both a VT100 emulator and a Tektronix emulator, currently in use at SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center). Although the VT100 part was originally based on Dave Wecker et al.'s VT100, many enhancements were made. I won't go into any details at this point. The main documentation file is not yet ready and will be posted later. For now, if you have questions, you will have to ask them on BIX in amiga.user. I expect the documentation to be ready by next week, though... This program uses ARP, so in order to run it you need arp.library in your libs: directory. You better make sure you have ARP 1.1, or else nasty things may happen! This program is NOT in the public domain. However, you may freely use this program for any purpose, and are encouraged to distribute it wherever you want. The author (me) does not, however, accept any responsibility for suitability for any particular purpose, or for any damages that may occur as a result of the use of this program, etc., you get the picture... 8-) . Bug reports are welcome, please send them to me BIXmail. This archive contains several sub-archives, one for each directory where you should store the files contained in the sub- archive. Besides VLT and VLT.info, the archive contains the following files (after executing the various executeme's). Be sure to read all the various readme files, too! Have fun...
