7335.0. "HLL API on VT320 ?" by DJOV09::LORENA () Wed Feb 19 1997 08:21

    
    Hello all,
    
    Our customer would like to know if the VT320 terminal emulator uses the
    HLL applications (HLL API) to formatting the text on Windows. They
    would like to test the OPAL product (CA-Computer Associates) with
    Digital network environment.
    
    Thanks in advance for your attention and help,
    Lorena/CSC/Rio

For anyone like me who does not know what OPAL does:

	http://www.cai.com/products/addbm/opal/opal.htm

	"OPAL is a tool that brings your legacy applications to life 
	by creating exciting multimedia user interfaces which 
	incorporate animation, video, sound, and more."

And here is why that customer is asking about "HLL API" support:

	OPAL requires the following: 

		486/66 or faster processor 
		16Mb RAM 
		Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 for authoring tools 
		Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 for runtime client 
		WinHLLAPI compatible terminal emulation for legacy applications

Everything I can find about WinHLLAPI tends to indicate the it is used
with IBM terminal emulators (3270, 5250, AS/400, etc.), not DIGITAL VT320
emulators.  From this I would guess that VT320.EXE in PATHWORKS
does not support "WinHLLAPI".
