Javelin, Minisoft's web based terminal emulation
package for VT320 and HP700/92 terminal emulation is the
industry's smallest Java applet.
Javelin version 2.6 is now available supporting integrated file
transfers!
Javelin now supports ASCII or Binary file
transfers with HPe3000 computer systems using the MiniSoft file
transfer protocol WS92LINK. There are four new configuration file
properties:
FTPROG WS92LINK.PUB.SYS
FTASCII ON
UPLOADCHARS
<upload translation table>
DOWNLOADCHARS <download
translation table>
If FTPROG is not defined the file transfer menu
will not appear. If it is defined, and it is an applet version,
the user will be asked to confirm the ability to read and write
local files (java sandbox protection).
If FTASCII is turned on the default will be
ASCII file transfers

Enhancements:
-
If the user presses Enter when the function key
message is present, the key is treated as if it was return
followed by enter.
-
A special packet is sent in NS/VT mode to tell
the host to disconnect, in cases where the user closes Javelin
without logging off.
RETURN KEY- ENTER KEY Javelin
now supports the ENTER key as a block mode enter and the RETURN
key as a carriage mode return at the same time. In the past
Javelin users had to operate with both keys being either the
block mode enter or carriage mode return. Now each key can
operate as separate functions. This functionality only
works if you are running Sun's VM 1.4.1_01 or later.
NEW CONFIGURATION COMMANDS:
The
numeric keypad keys '+', '-', '*', and '/' can be
remapped. Reference these keys as ADD, SUBTRACT,
MULTIPLY, and DIVIDE.
ENTERCLRMSG ON
If this line is found in the configuration file,
and a message is displayed in place of the function key labels,
and the user presses the ENTER key, the message will cleared and
the ENTER key otherwise ignored.
CENTERING OFF
The display stays left justified as the font
resizes due to changes in the screen size. This fixes a problem
where Javelin was not responding correctly to programmatic
commands to resize from 80 to 132 columns.
BUFFERTEXT (ON/OFF)
The default value is OFF. When this is set, in
block mode the screen will not be updated until a Read is
received from the Host, indicating that the host is ready for
input and that presumably it has therefore finished painting the
screen. This enhancement speeds up the display of block mode
screens.
Bug
Fixes:
SCREEN80 and
SCREEN132 parameters now cause Javelin to start up
with the font specified instead of the default font used by
Javelin.
Tab
key now works with Sun's VM version 1.4.1_01. Other
display issues when running on Linux boxes have been cleared
up.
