| :Currently trying to write a client-server application that interfaces to
:the SMG libraries. We open a pseudo terminal, however the create_pasteboard
:routine returns a terminal type of 'unknown' (which forces the use of the
:snapshot routine]. This is unacceptable for our current application. I
:tried resetting the terminal type to vt220, but then the create_pasteboard
:routine hangs waiting for a hardware handshake from the terminal. I don't
:have a copy of the VT220 Programmer's guide, and haven't been able to locate
:the escape sequence(s) required to complete the handshake(s) required by the
:smg routines.
One can usually determine what escape sequences are being sent
using local echo and/or display controls in the terminal setup,
and testing the connection with a physical terminal.
The terminal text programming manual, and/or the SMG file
SYS$SYSTEM:SMGTERMS.TXT can also be helpful.
:I am at a critical stage and will have to resort to an
:alternate design if I can not get this working by 10 AM Friday (tomorrow).
:Appologize for the short notice, but previously didn't have internet access.
This date passed...
