VT320 Emulator/Telnet Communications
Minisoft
320 for Windows 3.1 to XP
MS320
for Windows is a robust DEC VT320 terminal emulator and Telnet
communications program for accessing VMS and UNIX host applications.
MS320 now includes Wyse 50 emulation.
MS320
emulates the ANSI, WY50, VT52, VT100, VT220 and VT320 terminal types,
while supporting advanced Windows functionality like Dynamic Data Exchange
(DDE). File transfers are fast and easy with built-in FTP, Xmodem, Ymodem,
Zmodem, and sliding windows Kermit.
Multiple
host sessions can be run in separate windows and each session window can
be resized, with automatic scaling of the display fonts to full screen
size. Text and numeric displays maintain readability whether set to 80 or
132 columns.
The
user interface employs the Microsoft Control 3D look, and the display
includes a Maximized Workspace option that hides the fixed tool bar, menu
bar, command line, and status line, so the entire application window can
be used as the terminal screen. A Key Mapper displays a graphic
representation of your selected keyboard, allowing interactive remapping
of the keys to strings, tokens, escape sequences, and commands.
MS320
is fully WinSock-compliant with network support for TCP/IP, Telnet,
Interrupt 14, LAT, and CTERM. Serial and modem connections are supported
on COM1 through COM4 with baud rates up to 115,200.
Network
File Transfer is an optional method of file transfer that
is part of the same MSJOB used by the ODBC driver.
Emulation:
MS320 can run any application designed for DEC VT320, VT220, VT100 or VT52
terminals. Also supported are Wyse 50 and ANSI types. Key VT320 features,
such as double-height/double-width characters, 132-column mode,
multi-national and National Replacement Character sets, are precisely
emulated.
Local
printer support: All VT320 printer modes are supported using
Windows printer drivers. Screens can be printed in 80 or 132-column mode.
Under
host or local control, MS320 can be switched to auto or controller print
mode to print reports from the host computer system. Printer output can be
redirected to a disk file in generic ASCII format or in a printer-specific
format.
User
Interface:
Toolbars:
A programmable toolbar, which can be either fixed or floating, is a
standard feature. The fixed toolbar can be displayed horizontally or
vertically, or can be turned off. It contains ten short-cut icons to
display help, perform file transfers, gain access to the modem dialer,
change from 80 to 132-column display, activate WordPerfect 5.1 mode, print
the screen, switch between emulation instances, maximize workspace, or
exit. The definable floating toolbar can be placed anywhere on the Windows
desktop. Keystroke combinations can be programmed to a toolbar icon, which
when clicked sends a string to the host. Programmed buttons can include
text and/or graphics.
Keyboard
Remapping: DEC LK250, DEC LK450, standard IBM, and international
keyboards are supported. Custom keyboard configurations can be easily
created with the Key Mapper. Keys can be defined to send a string to the
host, execute a command file, relocate a VT320 function key and more.
Display
Lines: The number of lines displayed in the emulation window is
variable from 24 to 48. This feature is useful when running VMS or UNIX
editors or for applications requiring a 25-line display. The current row
and column can be displayed on the status line.
Multi-Instance
Interface: Switching between multiple sessions of the emulator is
easy and does not require the use of the Program Manager. All current
sessions of the emulator are displayed in the Switch dialog box, and can
be selected by double-clicking it.
IBM
PC Character Set: When connected to a VMS or UNIX host, the
emulator uses the default DEC multinational character set. Most bulletin
boards use the IBM PC character set. When the IBM PC character set is
selected, line drawing characters on bulletin boards will be displayed
correctly.
Modem
Dialer: A built-in phonebook that can store up to 50 numbers makes
modem access easy. Each phone number can be associated with a settings
file and a command file to automate login. The dialer also supports modem
initialization and credit card dialing strings.
Screen
Scrollback: Data that scrolls off the screen can be recalled by
using the scroll bars. A scroll back buffer size of up to 999 K-bytes can
be selected. Cut and paste and printing from scroll memory are
supported.
Great
UPGRADE offer! Competitive upgrade available on all emulation
products. For only $79* (US) you can upgrade from a competitor's emulation
product to a Minisoft product. Please contact your Minisoft
Sales Office about this offer. (*not valid outside North America)
Extended
Features: MS320 has many features that far surpass the
functionality of the VT320 terminal. Included are:
- Color
Support - configure specific color combinations such as
bold, reverse video, and underlining. Support for standard ANSI color
control sequences allows the host computer to control the color of the
characters.
- Command
Language - a powerful DCL-like command language may be used
to write scripts to automate repetitive tasks such as logging in,
transferring files, and creating DDE procedures.
- DDE
- support for DDE, through the MS320 command language, which can be
used in commands to start another application, transmit data to/from
another application, or execute commands in another application.
File
Transfer: Sliding windows Kermit, FTP, ASCII, Xmodem, Ymodem, and
Zmodem file transfer capabilities are included. Files can be transferred
in the background while the status box is displayed or while the emulator
is reduced to an icon, and may be automated through command files or by
host command sequences.
