- I am releasing a keyboard mapping standard called 'vterm'. Included in
- the release are initialization scripts to configure MS-Kermit, the Grand
- Editor, and Unix-Sas to conform to the vt220 keyboard. This should also
- work with NCSA_Telnet when they finish conforming their keyboard mapping
- to the Kermit standard. I also included an MS-Kermit script that will
- configure a Practical Peripherals MNP5 modem properly.
-
- There is no automatic configuration. You must copy the files to the
- appropriate place on your system and run the appropriate commands (e.g.
- tic and ticadd) for installation. The files can be found in
- wuarchive:pub/vterm.shar.Z via anonymous ftp or bitftp@pucc.bitnet.
-
- Please let me know how I can improve this software. -David-

- A companion program is called getsize. It is a C program that will
- determine the size of an ansi terminal. It is designed to be run from
- a .login script. I use the following code for its implementation:
-
- if ($TERM == "vterm" || $TERM == "wterm") then
- set noglob
- eval `/bin/sh -c "/usr/local/bin/getsize 2> /dev/tty"`
- unset noglob
- endif
-
- To install run 'make', become root, and run 'make install'. I have only
- tested this on a Sun 3/260 running SunOS 4.0.3. Any improvements,
- including patches to make it work on other systems are welcome.
-
- It would be nice if you make an effort to keep it compatible with
- systems on which it is already working. -David-
