HANDSHAKE is a shareware VT102/220 emulator that is as good a terminal
program that I have seen. It supports XMODEM, YMODEM and KERMIT file
transfer protocols and 80 or 132 column screens via it's own internal
fonts.
It should be available in several of the more popular storage areas
such as TAPE and NORSE and WJG.

| ...Speaking of Handshake (please forgive the tangent!)..
I've been trying to transfer ASCII files using this in both
Xmodem and Kermit modes, unsuccessfully. I've scanned previous
notes on these topics, plus Handshake's docs, but haven't
hit on the right setup.
I *have* gotten the file to transfer over (using the
'Receive Binary File' menu item - 'Receive ASCII' just
sits there doing nothing). It's legible, but the CR/LFs
are messed up. I've experimented with the 'Receive CR as..'
and 'Receive LF as..' switches, to no avail. Is there a
proven correct methodology for ASCII file transfers using
Handshake/Xmodem?
[I'm using the VMS Xmodem.Exe of around, I think, 90 blocks.]
Thanks for any assistance...my brain feels fried..

The problem described in .2 is a real pain. I use a PD program
called 'STRIP' to reformat any ASCII files so that a CR/LF combo
is inserted after every line up to a width specified. STRIP blasts
a modified copy into RAM: for uploading.
For example, if I wanted to reformat a file, I would type
STRIP -W80 FILENAME
The -W80 tells strip to reformat for 80 columns. STRIP will also
inform you that a new version has been copied to RAM. This is a
nice way of preserviing your original file.
By the way, some word processors, like Scribble! and Excellence!
have a 'print to file' option that seems to work fine for uploading
to a VAX.
I'll place a copy if STRIP.ARC in NORSE""::AMIGA:[UPLOAD]

OK, STRIP.ARC has been uploaded to NORSE""::AMIGA:[UPLOAD] if you
need it in a hurry. In the future, it should be in the UTILITIES
directory.
I couldn't find the docs, but if you type 'STRIP ?' from the CLI,
you'll get very thorough online help.
Now, back to our base note...

..After I squeeze in a quick note of thanks, Ed! Much appreciate
the pointers, I'm hoping to stay with Handshake.

| 2089.6 | Real "Print screen"? | PEANUT::WEGER | Bruce Weger | Sun Jan 08 1989 00:06 | 13 |
| re: .0 question regarding printing....
I really miss the ability to print a screen by pressing a "print
screen" key or printing a document by pressing "Ctrl-printscreen".
I'd also like to be able to print the screen using what I assume
would be a translated VT100 line-drawing character set to my Epson
compatible printer. Just like I can on a VT102/LA50 combination.
Do any commercial or PD Terminal Emulators support this?

| It sounds like handshake might do it for me> My next problem to
overcome is that I only have a captive All-in-One account. I have
tried but can not get files from the VAX through my system. I would
appreciate if you know if a board anywhere in the country that I
could dial up with Diga and download the file. If there are any
other programs or suggestions then let me know. Thanks.....

They usually have the latest of just about everything. I think
you dial in and leave a request for an account, and Bilbo, the
Sys Op, will set one up for you.
Supports (as I am told) all speeds up to and including 9600 baud.
