- VT100 Emulator for Psion Series 3a
- ==================================
-
- Thank you for your interest in our VT100 emulator for the Psion Series
- 3a. This file should come to you as part of a zipped file called
- VT100V25.ZIP which should contain
-
- 1) this file
- 2) VT100SLO.APP - the demonstration version of our VT100 product
- 3) VTDEMO.TXT - instructions on how to use VT100SLO.APP on your
- Psion Series 3a
- 4) UUDECODE.EXE - used if you but the product from us through the
- Internet
-
- Widget Software Ltd sells a range of products for the Psion Series 3a,
- including this VT100 emulator.
-
- We can mail the full version to you anywhere in the world. Our contact details
- are lower down in this file.
-
- In order for you to test VT100 before you buy it, we provide VT100SLO.APP, a
- version with all the features of the real thing except one:-the demo only works
- at 300 baud.
-
- We encourage you to copy the zipped file to any bulletin boards you
- visit.
-
- New Features in v2.5
- --------------------
-
- Version 2.5 includes a buffer large enough to take the contents of
- a page of text. This makes using VT100 quicker, and means that if you
- have incorrectly set the handshaking (which many people do) it is less
- likely that you will overflow the buffer.
-
-
- The VT100 Emulator
- ------------------
-
- The Psion Serial Link (RS232) includes a built-in application called 'Comms'
- which allows users to dial in to the simplest form of on-line systems.
-
- The Widget Software VT100 emulator allows users to log on to the many other on-
- line systems which use the more sophisticated VT100 standard. Many databases
- or company email systems require VT100 emulation from all terminals.
-
- If you would like to log on to a computer system which requires VT100, using
- your Psion Series 3a, please try out this free demonstration version of our
- software.
-
-
- Technical details
- -----------------
-
- VT100 provides an 80 column by 24 line full-screen emulation of the DEC
- VT-100 terminal. VT100 is designed to complement the built-in 'Comms'
- app, and many of the menu options and hot-keys will be familiar if you
- have used 'Comms'.
-
- VT100 supports most of the features of the real terminal, including:
- * forward and reverse scrolling
- * highlighting
- * underline
- * inverse video,
- * graphic box characters
- * keypad emulation
- * insert/overwrite mode
- * autowrap,
- * Delete and Enter key mapping
- * full serial port and handshake configuration
- * clear screen and reset terminal
- * tab settings
- * full cursor movement
- * line and block erase
- * xmodem and ymodem file transfer protocols
- * scalable fonts, allowing you to view either the full screen or a virtual
- window on the screen
-
- In addition, VT100 allows you to save the current terminal settings
- between sessions, log incoming data to a file, pause the screen, and get
- help on the various options.

- In order to travel through the Internet, we send you the file uuencoded
- as a mail message.
-
- If you order from us by email, we will send you what looks like a very
- strange message in reply. It will consist entirely of ASCII characters,
- but in a form which makes no sense to the reader.
-
- Save this mail message to disk on your PC. Call the file VT100.uue.
- Then, using the file UUDECODE.EXE which is in the same zip file as these
- instructions type
-
- UUDECODE VT100.UUE
-
- The file you received through the Internet mail will be reconstructed
- into a file called VT100.APP which will replace the file VT100SLO.APP
- you got with this zip file.
-
- This will get you started while the floppy disk and manual are
- still travelling through the world's postal services.
