yah thats right, you just have to remove the hooks. you should be good. Anyways I am working hard on a "REX integration" solution for VT100. it is coming along but debug can take a long long time. On Mon, Dec 21, 2020 at 11:03 PM Jim Anderson wrote: > > -Original Message- > > > > Jim,

See, that is what I have been saying: if Virtual T does not behave like a real one, it is not doing its job. On Mon, 21 Dec 2020 at 04:07, Stephen Adolph wrote: > Ok thanks for the info. I did it quickly, assuming that what was working > in virtualt would also work in reality. > > Not always

Hi again — as a quick follow-up, I was able to convert these four chip extracts from HEX into BX. I then tested them by loading 'em into REX, so they should be in good shape. disk31.hex and .bx … Disk+ (aka Disk 4) ver 3.1 gold71.hex and .bx … appears to be a custom ROM with “Gold” written in

Exactly. I had to add custom vt100 commands to thr vt100 terminal firmware.. I just did it wrong. Anyone can jump in and fix it if they want. Don't wait for me. In fact I would prefer if someone decides to pitch in and help. I have posted the files. It is C. The tools are downloadable.

Ok thanks for the info. I did it quickly, assuming that what was working in virtualt would also work in reality. Not always the case. I noticed that last night that the VT100 driver embedded in rex# also has a bug. I'll take it down. I'm sure when I find the issue on REX# it will be apparent
