File Menu


Background bitmap...

Using this menu item, you can open a bitmap to use as a background in your Anzio window. The bitmap can be muted out by adjusting its brightness and contrast, so that the work area is still usable for terminal emulation.

Bitmaps are not included with your Anzio software, but are available from a wide variety of sources. Start by looking in the Windows directory, as bitmaps are often used for Windows wallpaper.

For acceptable results, select a 256-color bitmap. Also, your video driver must be running in 256 colors.

Select the bitmap of your choice. To adjust brightness and contrast, click or drag the second (usually the right) mouse button to different areas of Anzios window. The vertical axis controls the brightness and the horizontal axis controls the contrast.

See Also

View Menu


Block Cursor

Lets you select a block (vs. an underline) cursor.

See Also

View Menu


Zoom

Zooms (or unzooms) the Anzio window, just like clicking on the zoom box in the upper right corner of the window. By having this item in the menu, it can have a shortcut key (alt-Z) attached to it.

When Anzios window is zoomed, Anzio takes over the whole screen, by adding space between lines and on the right and left margins.

See Also

View Menu


Jump Scroll

These settings govern how Anzio deals with a rapid incoming stream of data.

If Jump Scroll is off, Anzio shows you every line of text.

If Jump Scroll is medium, Anzio will suspend scrolling until it is about one-half screenful behind.

If Jump Scroll is fast, Anzio will suspend scrolling until it is an entire screenful behind.

View Menu


Color...

This item has three submenu items. Normal sets Anzios standard color table. Reverse sets up a green-on-black table. Custom takes you to the Colors screen, where you can set Anzios color translation table explicitly.

When Anzio is emulating a monochrome terminal, the host may send out video attributes such as reverse, underline, and blink. Anzio translates these attribute combinations into color combinations, according to the color table.

If the host sends out explicit color-setting escape sequences, according to the ANSI standard, Anzio will react properly if it is emulating a VT220 or related terminal (SCO ANSI, AT386, ANZIO). This aspect of color handling requires no setup.

Changing the color table does not affect characters already on the screen - it affects only characters arriving after the change is made.

View Menu


Wait...

Lets you tell Anzio to wait a period of time.

See Also

View Menu


Sleep...

Lets you tell Anzio to sleep until a certain time.

View Menu


Font Size

These various menu items allow you to choose the font size Anzio will use.

Anzio uses the Terminal fonts provided by Windows, because they must be fixed-space as well as in the PC (OEM) character set (for line-drawing characters).

The easiest way to choose a font is to cycle through the available choices using alt-L for larger fonts and alt-S for smaller fonts.

When you change the font size, Anzio adjusts the window size accordingly.

See Also

View Menu


Screen Size

These menu items let you tell Anzio how many lines and columns you want. Note that this may need to be coordinated with the host system.

Anzio adds one more line, which is used for status and gauge information.

See Also

View Menu


Monitor

When Monitor is turned on, Anzio displays control codes it receives, rather than reacting to them.

See Also

Diagnose Menu


Interpret

This brings up the Interpret screen, which shows the last 2048 character received from the host.

See Also

Diagnose Menu


Review

Initiates Review (screen scrollback). Anzio maintains a 64 K buffer of lines that have scrolled off the top of the screen. The Review function allows you to scroll through them.

See Also

Diagnose Menu


Send Break

Sends a break signal to the host.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Unlock

Unlocks communication from Anzio to the host. Affects both XON/XOFF locking and NCR ITX locking.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Auto Linefeed

If this item is on, each carriage-return (CR) either entered or received will have a linefeed (LF) added.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Full Duplex

If Full Duplex is ON, that means the host system is assuming the responsibility of echoing your keystrokes back to you.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Lock On

Turns on a special locking protocol used with certain NCR host systems and with certain proprietary file transfer schemes.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Data Bits

Sets the number of data bits used for serial communication.

This item is usually 8 if Parity is Off, or 7 if Parity is Even or Odd.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Stop Bits

Sets the number of stop bits for serial communication. Usually 1.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Baud Rate

Sets the baud rate for serial communication.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Host System

Tells Anzio what kind of host operating system it is communicating with.

If uncertain, select Unix.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Terminal Type

Tells Anzio what kind of terminal to emulate. Note that changing this item does not change the key mappings for function keys, etc., because you may have some set up specially. So you may want to do a Read Keys operation after changing terminal types.

Following is a brief description of each terminal type:

N7900	An obsolete NCR terminal with no function keys and awkward attributes.

VIEWPOINT	The ADDS Viewpoint, plus enhancements made by Wyse and others. Supports only one attribute on-screen at a time.

WYSE60	The Wyse 60 has good monochrome attribute support.

VT220	The industry standard. Good attribute support. Anzios VT220 support also supports color. Uses ISO character set.

ANZIO	A superset of the VT220, with some features added for speed. Uses ISO character set.

SCOANSI	Emulates the console of SCO Unix. Basically VT220 plus color, plus some quirks.

AT386	Emulates the console of ATT Unix V.4. VT220 plus color, with slight color differences from SCOANSI and ANZIO.

See Also

Communicate Menu


TERM Name...

In environments where the host system can request a terminal type (i.e., a telnet session), this item allows you to set the exact response.

If this item is blank, Anzio will respond with the terminal name as in the Terminal Type menu item.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Parity

Sets the parity for serial communication: Even, Odd, or None.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Port

Specifies the communication port for serial communication.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Backspace

Sets the code Anzio will transmit when you hit the Backspace key: 8, 21 (obsolete), or 127.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Setup...

Brings up the CrowComm setup dialog box.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Host name...

Specifies which TCP/IP host you want to connect to.  Entering a new value causes Anzio to drop the current connection and initiate a new one.

The host entry can be either an IP address, of the form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn, or a host name, assuming your TCP/IP setup has the means of translating the host name to an address.

You can specify a different TCP/IP port number by attaching it to the end of either the IP address or the host name, following a colon. That is:

    hostname:port

See Also

Communicate Menu


Reconnect

This item governs how Anzio will behave if the host end of a TCP/IP connection terminates.

If Reconnect is ON, Anzio will immediately attempt to reconnect, usually resulting in a new login prompt.

If OFF, Anzio will quit.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Auto connect on startup

On startup, if this item is ON, ANZIO will immediately issue a connection request to the host name saved from the last session.

If OFF, Anzio will always ask you for the host name.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Dial...

For a serial modem connection, this item prompts for a phone number to be dialed.

See Also

Communicate Menu


Capture

See Also

Transfer Menu


Kermit

Initiates Kermit file transfer.

See Also

Transfer Menu


Delays...

Prompts for two numeric values that cause Anzio to slow down its output to the host. Both are measured in units of approximately 10 microseconds.

Line Delay is a line turn-around delay, affecting communication when LOCK is ON, such as with NCR ITX systems and/or file transfer.

Delay is a delay between characters.
