826.0. "Uniterm 2.0e 011?" by JARETH::GILLIAM () Mon Apr 09 1990 15:05

    Recently, Simon Poole posted a note to Usenet about the availability of
    Uniterm 2.0e 011. Does anyone have a copy?
    
    Thanks

826.1Here it isJOVE::reillyMichael ReillyWed Apr 11 1990 01:3914
I am putting the compressed tar file onto jove now.  I'll put an arc file
there as soon as I get a chance.  Copy the file -

	jove::uniterm.20e.tar.Z

if you want the compressed tar version.  Remember that case matters in Ultrix
filenames and that the file is binary (not ascii).

% ls -l uniterm*
-rw-r--r--  1 root       346856 Apr 10 18:29 uniterm.20e.tar.Z

There appears to be an ascii version of the manual as well as the LaTex
source and some other goodies in the distirbution.  jove::uniterm.list is a
listing of the contents of uniterm.20e.tar.Z.  Uniterm.list is an ascii file.
826.2arc version?JARETH::GILLIAMFri Apr 13 1990 16:174
    Does anyone know where there's an arc version of Uniterm 2.0e 011?
    
    Thanks

    I copied files into the wee hours last night and now have a whole
    collection of things from the terminator ftp site. One was the latest
    version of Uniterm. Copy the file vermnt::/usr3/atari/uni20v11.arc
    to your system. To copy from VMS I would suggest the following command
    to insure no corruption of the file format:
    
    exchange/network/trans=block vermnt::"/usr1/atari/uni20v11.arc" -
    uni20v11.arc
    
    Note that the quotes are required to tell VMS not to get carried away
    with trying to parse the filespec.

    re .-1
    
    Thanks for the info, I successfully downloaded it and ran it up last
    night.
    
    Are there any Release Notes with it?
    
    The only 'benefit' I can see at present is a negative - mouse pointer
    'holes' are left in the dialogue boxes for RS232, Terminal Setup etc,
    a feature not present in V2.00 e 009!

826.5No docs at allSMURF::COUTUHe who will not risk, cannot win.Wed Apr 18 1990 14:476
    You've got all there is then. The arc file contains a new program
    image and a resource file. That is it! I have no idea of what is
    different. When Simon Poole made it available he provided no details,
    just 'here it is'.
    
    Dan
826.6SMURF::COUTUHe who will not risk, cannot win.Wed Apr 18 1990 17:435
    Whoops! I made an error in .3. While the body of text gives the right
    location the example of how to the exchange command does not. The files
    are in /usr3/atari. /usr1 is the wrong place to go.
    
    Dan
826.7Is the ARC file complete?JOVE::reillyMichael ReillyFri Apr 20 1990 01:167
Re: .5

Not true.  Simon made a tar file available with full Uniterm docs in ascii
and LaTex source form as well as a read me file which describes the problems
he corrected in each incremental update.  Look at the list of the contents of
the tar file I made available a few replies back and see what should be
there.  If the arc doesn't contain it all then it needs to be fixed.
826.8Not in my copy!MINDER::GILBERTSystems Design & Eng Cntr @ MCOFri Apr 20 1990 09:427
    The .ARC file contains two files, the .PRG and .RSC, only.
    
    I'd really appreciate a look at the README file. Can you put a copy
    on-line *and* accessible to us poor VMS users ("tar file" doesn't mean a lot
    to me!)
    
    Regards, Brian

    I'll break out the individual files this evening and post the location
    of them.
826.10Some more filesJOVE::reillyMichael ReillyThu Apr 26 1990 00:2025
I've put an arc of the following files from the uniterm tar file on jove::
If anyone wants an arc of the User's Guide UG) sources let me know.  I can
also produce a postscript copy of the UG if anyone is interested.  Also if
anyone wants an arc of the entire tar file let me know.  The tar file
actually contains a directory tree so making an arc of all of the files may
result in some name conflicts.  If anyone is interested I'll try it.

Copy jove::udoc20e1.arc and you'll get -

826.15TAR for the STDECWIN::GILLIAMFri Apr 27 1990 18:293
    By the way, peovax::peovax$dua51:[lewis.atari] contains STTAR.ARC. It
    creates TAR files and extracts files from TAR files on the ST. Is there
    similar program for VMS? 
826.16fontfiles bad?? Or what am I doing wrong?BERN01::RUGGIEROMon Apr 30 1990 07:4020
    I copied all the neccessary files from JOVE. After downloading to my
    Atari there was no problem to unArc them. All fine so far!

    There are some fonts (.FNT and .UFT). As I understand the doc (it's in
    the Q_and_A-file) it should be possible to change the font Uniterm
    uses. How do I do this?? I read something about a macro statement
    FONTLOAD, but it does nothing. Not even the disk is beeing touched to
    read the font. Also it was not possible to load the .FNT-files into an
    ordinary font editor or to create a .UFT file from one of them. The
    provided MAKE_UFT.TOS tells me something about data that starts at
    address 30 but that the file size was wrong - and terminates leaving me
    with a created file  of size 0.

    So my questions: Are the fonts bad in the .ARC file? (Arc did not
    complain about bad archive). Is there something I do wrong? Do I just
    not understand waht Simon Pool tells me?
    Please if anyone has successfully changed the font in Uniterm tell me
    how to do that!

    Could someone give me a pointer to where I can find an ARC'ed version of
    the current Uniterm User's Guide. Preferrably in ascii format. 

    Regards,

    Carl

    PS: What program uses the TEX file format, and are there any PD
    decoders? Also, how does one unTAR a file on VMS?
