FYI:
If anyone is using shareware NQTelnet inbound telnet server and wants
(enhanced) terminal conversion of relative cursor positioning sequences, I
just put them up.
NQTelnet supported absolute cursor and highlite conversions before, but Jeff
twisted my Email arm and I added some more sequences. The VT100OBJ is a
procedure "plug-in" data stream conversion routine up to 256 bytes per line
and can be used with any other native programs. You can view NQTELD source
to see how it is called within the NQTelnet package also on opus.
For Example: Running an HP terminal program, if a program outputs:
"ENTER DATE>> <esc>&dB[<esc>&a+8C]<esc>&d@<esc>&a-9C"
which looks like: "ENTER DATE>> [________]" (imagine WRQ reverse video)
Running NQTELD in VT100 mode, program output would be converted to:
"ENTER DATE>> <esc>[1;7m[<esc>[8C<esc>[8D________]<esc>[0m<esc>[9D"
which looks like: "ENTER DATE>> [________]" (imagine Sun Unix Telnet client)
===
The idea is that the server converts HP term data stream to standard ANSI
VT100 terminal data stream (telnet protocol - not 100%). We give hundreds
of _casual_ users access to our HP with free Internet Telnet clients using
the same programs for HP terms (not all at once mind you! At most about 40
telnet concurrent sessions.) This system makes a good web telnet menu link
(been doing it since 1993).
