9858.0. "SWXCRMGR & character cell terminals" by SANITY::PCUMMINGS (The perfect democracy) Fri May 16 1997 19:13

    We've recently acquired AS4100s based DUnix TruClusters with only
    character cell console terminals (no graphics heads).  Found that we
    had to run SWXCRMGR from floppy and had a heck of time with the utility
    because it was slow, but worse, the output from the SWXCRMGR utility
    was barely readable!  Many bogus or 'substitute' characters are printed
    in the process.  Also, appears there are many substitute commands
    required when using a character cell terminal (i.e. Cntrl B = F2, etc).
    
    I want to believe that some of what we saw was because of incompatible
    terminal settings. 
    
    Does anyone know where this stuff is well documented? 
    
    thanx
